The facility expands manufacturing capabilities and advances AZEK’s commitment to create a more sustainable future
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The AZEK Company Inc. (NYSE: AZEK) (“AZEK” or the “Company”), the industry-leading manufacturer of beautiful, low-maintenance and environmentally sustainable outdoor living products, including TimberTech® decking, Versatex® and AZEK® Trim and StruXure™ pergolas, today unveiled its newest manufacturing facility in Boise, Idaho – AZEK’s first in the Western part of the United States. The 350,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility further advances AZEK’s strategy to drive material conversion to its types of sustainable, low-maintenance and environmentally sustainable outdoor living products, providing capacity that will allow the Company to scale to market demand for its products.
AZEK has committed approximately $140 million to design, build and equip this facility with advanced technology and equipment. Currently being utilized to manufacture the Company’s premium composite decking, TimberTech®, the new facility has brought approximately 70 jobs to the Treasure Valley community and expects to support a total of about 150 jobs over the next two years.
“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,” said Jesse Singh, CEO of The AZEK Company. “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 facility also features a dedicated 3,200 square foot state-of-the-art training center, which will be used for AZEK University product knowledge sessions and hands-on workshops —all designed to help AZEK’s distributor, dealer, architect and contractor partners build their businesses and educate their customers on AZEK’s industry-leading product lines, including TimberTech decking and railing, AZEK Exteriors products and more.
“We are proud The AZEK Company chose Boise for their new Western United States plant location,” Idaho Governor Brad Little said. “Idaho’s business friendly environment is a perfect match for the company’s reputation as a leader in innovative and sustainable products that limit waste and advance recycling capabilities. Congratulations to The AZEK Company!”
AZEK has purposefully integrated sustainability into the design and construction of this retrofitted facility, including high-efficiency water and lighting systems, EV charging stations, bicycle parking, rooftop rainwater harvesting stations that lessens demand on local freshwater resources and reduces stormwater runoff, closed-loop water systems that re-use up to 98% of the water used annually, the incorporation of smart site management technologies, and other environmentally responsible initiatives which are aligned to the city’s broader environmental goals. Additionally, approximately 300,000 pounds of construction and demolition waste were diverted from landfills during construction. LEED green building certification for this site is expected in the upcoming months.
