AZEK unveiled its newest manufacturing facility in Boise, Idaho, the building product manufacturer’s first manufacturing operation in the western part of the United States.
The 350,000 square foot facility further advances AZEK’s strategy to drive material conversion to its types of sustainable, low-maintenance, and environmentally sustainable outdoor living products, according to the company. The Boise facility will provide capacity that will allow AZEK to scale to market demand for its products. The manufacturer has committed $140 million to design, build, and equip the facility with advanced technology and equipment. The facility is currently being utilized to manufacture TimberTech premium composite decking.
“The opening of this facility is an exciting milestone for The AZEK Company, enabling us to both support our customers and further expand our market penetration in the region,” Jesse Singh, CEO of The AZEK Company, said in a prepared statement. “We chose Boise for our newest facility location because we share the same strong passion for sustainability and commitment to placing that passion at the core of everything we do. Our team has never been more committed to our strategy, identifying the right communities that will help us advance our sustainability goals, ensuring we bring more job opportunities to people who share our beliefs, and meeting and exceeding our customer expectations.”
The Boise plant includes a dedicated 3,200-square-foot training center which will be used for AZEK University product knowledge sessions and hands-on workshops. The education provided by the manufacturer is designed to help distributors, dealers, architects, and contractor partners build their business and educate their customers on AZEK’s product lines.
AZEK has purposefully integrated sustainability into the design and construction of the facility. Features include high-efficiency water and lighting systems, EV charging stations, bicycle parking, rooftop rainwater harvesting stations, closed-loop water systems that re-use up to 98% of the water used annually, and smart site management technologies. Approximately 300,000 pounds of construction and demolition waste were diverted from landfills during construction, according to AZEK.
AZEK’s product portfolio includes TimberTech decking, Versatex, AZEK Trim, and StruXure pergolas. Chicago-based AZEK operates manufacturing facilities in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Georgia, Nevada, New Jersey, and Minnesota.
