Fiberon, a leading manufacturer of outdoor living products, is upgrading its manufacturing processes with efficiency, safety and sustainability at the core.
“We’re looking forward to further expanding our capacity with our new location in Tennessee, and bringing these efficient, sustainable and safe processes to the new plant.”
Fiberon has been implementing efficient manufacturing processes in both its New London, NC and Meridian, ID locations. Enhanced productivity measures include adding production lines, consolidating aspects of the manufacturing process, and leveraging new automation and technology to speed up the time it takes to produce its advanced-material products.

New technology in Fiberon’s facilities helps drive forward its sustainability initiatives, which are an important part of the Fiberon brand. Fiberon’s recycling capabilities are becoming smarter through automated material shredding and sorting. Automation updates to recycling capabilities create a safer work environment for Fiberon associates, enabling increased run rates while taking more labor-intensive work out of the process.
New laser and visualization technology is helping Fiberon to produce consistently high-quality, aesthetically superior wood-emulation deck boards. Additionally, upgrades to Fiberon’s packaging process are creating higher rates of production.
While multiple efficiency updates have already taken place and are currently underway at Fiberon’s current manufacturing operations, Fiberon is also expanding its operational footprint. Fiberon recently announced it will be building a new plant in Columbia, TN.
“We have been pleased with how we have optimized our current facilities and manufacturing processes,” said Mike Huskey, vice president of operations and supply chain for Fiberon. “We’re looking forward to further expanding our capacity with our new location in Tennessee, and bringing these efficient, sustainable and safe processes to the new plant.”
