LM Glasfiber has announced plans to open a new facility in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA.

The plant is scheduled to begin operations in first quarter 2008 and will employ over 1,000 people within five years. LM Glasfiber expects to sign the agreement with the State of Arkansas and the city of Little Rock in the immediate future. The Little Rock plant will be LM Glasfiber's third North American production facility; effectively doubling the capacity of the existing factories in Grand Forks, North Dakota, USA and Gaspé, Quebec, Canada.
