WHEATLAND COUNTY, ALTA. — CGC Inc., a manufacturer of gypsum-based building materials, officially launched recruitment for nearly 100 full-time manufacturing roles at its new Wheatland County plant in Alberta.
Currently under construction, with a 2026 opening date, the hiring launch marks the next phase in CGC’s $325 million investment.
Situated on 214 acres of land northwest of Carseland, the 220,000-square-foot facility will be CGC’s “most modern and sustainable wallboard manufacturing site in the country,” explains a release.
Once operational the facility will be producing Sheetrock® wallboard panels and shipping them to distributors all across Western Canada by truck and rail.
During the final stages of construction over the next year, many new hires will travel to the company’s other plants across Canada to be trained and familiarized with the manufacturing process.
CGC first announced its Wheatland County plant investment in July 2022, and broke ground for construction in May 2024.
The project is being executed with partners from Wheatland County, the Alberta government, Siksika First Nation and Invest Alberta.
