Trex enters 2021 celebrating the startup of its new Virginia production facility that caps a $200 million expansion program. The milestone bolsters the company’s position as the industry’s largest and most productive composite decking manufacturer.
At the center of Trex’s capital investment and long-term strategic growth plan is approximately 200,000-square-feet of newly constructed manufacturing and support facilities dedicated to producing Trex decking. The state-of-the-art manufacturing plant, adjacent to the company’s existing Virginia campus, features approximately 8,500 cubic yards of concrete in its foundation, 75,000-square-feet of exterior precast, 1,500 tons of structural steel, and 3 million linear feet of wiring.
“This will be the most productive and efficient composite decking facility designed for maximum output,” emphasized Adam Zambanini, president of Trex Residential Products. “The building is equipped with state-of-the-art, proprietary extrusion technology that allows us to manufacture Trex decking using 95% recycled content, with an emphasis on quality and energy-efficient systems.”
In addition to the new Virginia decking facility, Trex also improved production capabilities and capacity at its manufacturing site in Nevada, where new lines were installed and made operational in June of 2020. Combined, these companywide investments will empower Trex – already the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance, wood-alternative decking – to increase production capacity by approximately 70% while adding 350 new jobs.
Trex Company, Inc. is the world’s largest manufacturer of high-performance wood-alternative decking and railing.
