Westlake Royal Building Products™ (Westlake Royal), a subsidiary of Westlake Corporation (NYSE: WLK), has launched a strategic initiative to boost production and operations for its Newpoint™ Concrete Roof Tile in Florida. This durable roofing product, known for its strength and weather resistance, is in high demand across the state. As part of the expansion, Westlake Royal is making substantial upgrades to its manufacturing facilities in Lake Wales and Okeechobee, enhancing both production efficiency and output.
“Our commitment to the concrete roof tile market in Florida is strong,” said Eric Miller, vice president of sales for Westlake Royal Building Products. “With growing interest in weather-resistant, energy-efficient roofing, these improvements ensure we can meet demand while enhancing customer experience.”
Upgrades at the Lake Wales facility include streamlining processes to improve production and packaging quality, while the Okeechobee facility focuses on expanding production capacity. The Newpoint Concrete Roof Tile Saxony 900 profile, a popular flat tile that supports foam-adhesive applications and offers superior wind-uplift protection, is a key feature of these optimizations.
Westlake Royal is also investing in its e-commerce platform and expanding delivery and roof-load services, enabling wider product access throughout Florida. The company’s Newpoint Concrete Roof Tile integrates with its line of Westlake Royal™ Roofing Components, creating a comprehensive, high-performance roofing system that stands up to Florida’s unique climate challenges.
