Viracon has announced that it will invest up to $7 million to refurbish manufacturing equipment and upgrade building infrastructure at its Statesboro, USA facility in anticipation of a commercial construction market recovery.

“As our architectural glass markets continue to demand more value-added and energy efficient products, we intend to ensure that our Statesboro facility, which opened 13 years ago, remains on the cutting edge of glass fabrication capability for the next construction up-cycle,” said Kelly Schuller, President.

It is anticipated that production in the facility will be scaled back during the anticipated six-month rebuild period, but the company has confirmed that it will continue to serve all markets from its Utah and Minnesota facilities with no disruption to current project needs or future commitments.
