IG Masonry Support Opens New Manufacturing Facilities in Connecticut

IG Masonry Support has announced a major milestone in its global growth strategy with the launch of a new U.S. manufacturing facility in Connecticut, strengthening its ability to deliver high-performance masonry support systems across the North American construction market.

This strategic expansion significantly enhances IG Masonry Support’s presence in North America, reinforcing its commitment to providing precision-engineered façade solutions, faster delivery times, and localized support for contractors, architects, and developers across the United States.

The Connecticut facility will increase production capacity, streamline lead times, and enable more responsive project support—ensuring customers benefit from locally manufactured masonry support and brick slip systems designed to meet U.S. building codes, standards, and construction schedules.

Owen Coyle, President of IG Masonry Support, said: “This marks a pivotal moment in our journey, reflecting both our continued growth and our long-term commitment to investing in global infrastructure. We selected Connecticut for its strategic location, skilled workforce, and strong transportation links, enabling us to efficiently serve key markets across the United States.

“This new facility not only enhances our operational efficiency, but also creates valuable employment opportunities and contributes to the regional economy. It further demonstrates our commitment to innovation, with advanced manufacturing capabilities that will support future product development.

“Our expansion into the United States builds on the strong reputation we have established across the UK and Europe, where IG Masonry Support is recognized for reliability, engineering excellence, and a customer-focused approach.”

As demand grows for advanced façade systems and modern masonry solutions, our investment in U.S. manufacturing positions the company at the forefront of the industry—delivering scalable, high-performance systems for commercial, residential, and mixed-use developments.

With operations spanning multiple continents, IG Masonry Support is uniquely positioned to support global clients while delivering locally manufactured, engineered solutions tailored to the needs of the U.S. construction market.
