I wonder if this plant closing has any impact on Conforce supplying their EKO-FLOR?

Georgia Gulf Consolidates Profile Extrusion Facility
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 24, 2007--Georgia Gulf Corporation (NYSE: GGC) today announced that it will close Royal Group's Winnipeg, Manitoba window and door profile extrusion facility later this year, with the extrusion operations currently in this facility to be transferred to other Royal Group profile extrusion plants. Georgia Gulf acquired Royal Group in October of 2006 and has acted rapidly since then to optimize manufacturing operations and improve financial results. Today's announcement reflects the company's continuing pursuit of improved manufacturing efficiency and reduced fixed cost.

"Customers purchasing window and door profiles from our Winnipeg facility will be better served by our other facilities, as these plants house the latest in extrusion technology," commented Bill Doherty, Georgia Gulf's Vice President of Custom Products. Royal Group has profile extrusion facilities located strategically throughout North America to serve its expanding window manufacturer customer base. Royal Group's window and door profile extrusion plants are located in Toronto Ontario, Montreal Quebec, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Reno Nevada, Bristol Tennessee and Seattle Washington.

Georgia Gulf also announced today that its RoyalGuard(TM) impact resistant system has been granted Florida Building Code-HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) approval (including Miami-Dade and Broward Counties). The system is targeted at windstorm-prone areas of the US, such as the Florida coastline. In May 2007, Georgia Gulf announced the completion of construction of a window and door profile extrusion plant in Bristol, Tennessee, to serve its expanding window manufacturer customer base in the Southeastern US.
