<a href="https://laohu8.com/S/JHX">James Hardie</a> Closes Two Plants to Streamline Manufacturing

James Hardie Industries plc has announced a corporate reorganization aimed at optimizing its manufacturing footprint. As part of this initiative, the company will close its manufacturing facilities in Fontana, California, and Summerville, South Carolina, within the next 60 days, though the Fontana site's Innovation and R&D functions will continue operating. The reorganization is expected to generate annualized cost savings of approximately $25 million beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. James Hardie anticipates incurring one-time pre-tax charges of $40 million to $44 million related to the closures, which will be recognized primarily in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The company reaffirmed its financial guidance for the third quarter and full year of fiscal 2026.
