“innovation that happens [in Hillsborough county] resonates around the world,

and the catalyst is the great environment we have here. employees see

themselves as family, and that says a lot about the people in the city and

the surrounding community.”

– Ryan Sullivan, South Division General Manager, James Hardie

James Hardie, an international leader in fiber cement building product manufacturing, announced plans to expand its existing presence in eastern Hillsborough County in late 2013. Over the next few years, the expansion would create more than 100 new jobs and nearly $80 million in capital investment, making the major manufacturer a huge player in Plant City. The company, which has been in Hillsborough County since 1995, also announced plans to retrofit an existing pipe plant for sheet production, adding 100,000 square feet of space, as well as new machinery and equipment.
