The McPherson plant was built in 1971 to manufacture extruders and other equipment and was a part of the Machinery Division of CertainTeed. Over the next 15 years, the plant transformed from an equipment maker to injection molding operations responsible for manufacturing pipe fittings, fence, window and electrical components. In 1990, Cedar Impressions- Polymer Siding was invented as a result of the vision for a new siding product and a collection of great minds working together. Since its inception, the product has set CertainTeed apart from our competitors. The McPherson plant has grown from 5 molds in 1990 to 28+ molds in 2022 and will continue to expand its production capacity and automation capabilities.
