CertainTeed Corporation has helped shape the building products industry for more than 100 years. Founded in 1904 as General Roofing Company, the firm made its slogan 'Quality Made Certain. Satisfaction Guaranteed,' which inspired the name CertainTeed. Today, the product offering has been expanded to include gypsum board, exterior sheathing, and finishing products. CertainTeed Gypsum operates several gypsum board plants in North America, including its newest high-speed wallboard plant in West Virginia. In addition, a new Finishing plant was built in Las Vegas at the end of 2008 to serve that market.
