NEPHI, UT (October 24, 2022) — OldCastle APG, a CRH company, has begun expanding its existing Barrette Outdoor Living facilities in Nephi, Utah and Dover, Delaware. The two locations manufacture National Vinyl Products (NVP) — a prominent, national brand of PVC fence and rail components.
Once completed, the expansions will significantly increase the company’s vinyl extrusion capacity, further enhancing Oldcastle APG’s ability to provide end-to-end solutions to customers.
In Nephi, a 30,000-square-foot expansion will feature state-of-the-art automation and allow for additional extrusion lines, in-line fabrication and product kitting. Expected to be completed in early 2023, the expanded space will add a variety of new full-time jobs to the local community.
“With NVP now being a part of the Barrette Outdoor Living portfolio within Oldcastle APG, we are able to grow our footprint in the marketplace — allowing us to serve our customers in more meaningful and efficient ways,” said Zack Clark, General Manager of NVP. “Oldcastle APG and Barrette Outdoor Living’s state-of-the-art equipment, manufacturing processes and products help make NVP stronger and more competitive.”

An additional 13,000-square-foot building is planned to be built at the Dover location that will house its blending operations, enabling custom PVC compounds to be mixed on site. The new building will feature a receiving dock and nine acres of outdoor storage which will improve lead times and product availability for customers.
The new Dover site will also feature a PVC recycling center as part of Barrette Outdoor Living’s GreenWays Recycling Program. The program works with customers to collect recyclable PVC materials that are then processed and used as substrate in the company’s vinyl products. The facility will also have direct access to a rail line, ensuring efficient delivery of raw materials from vendors while helping to reduce the company’s carbon footprint in support of its commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
Expected to be completed in early 2023, the Dover expansion will add several new full-time jobs to the local economy.
