Gibson Fiberglass is opening a new warehouse facility in Elkhart, Indiana, USA, in anticipation of economic recovery in the composites industry.

The new warehouse replaces an existing 12 000 ft2 facility and will include office space for warehouse employees and regional sales. There is also additional office space to accommodate customer visits and team meetings.
