Armstrong World Industries has marked a €20 million investment with the official opening of a new production line capable of turning out tens of thousands of ceiling tiles per day.
The new lamination production line boosts the supplier’s manufacturing capacity and provides more output flexibility for all the European markets, shortening the lead time to deliver its products for new construction and refurbishment projects, small or large, in the markets of Southern Europe, including France, Spain and Italy, from its site in Pontarlier, France.
Armstrong has utilised state-of-the-art technology to produce top-quality smooth white acoustical ceilings and has marked the development with new, minimalistic and easily identifiable packaging.
Victor D Grizzle, CEO of Armstrong World Industries, said: “This is an exciting time for us in Europe and I thank the local community and all of our employees and partners for their dedication and support of this project".
