CGC marks brand centennial

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Drywall manufacturer CGC Inc. is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its Sheetrock brand of gypsum panels, one of its most popular portfolios. Gypsum panels were originally created by USG Corp., CGC’s parent company, 100 years ago by putting gypsum plaster between two sheets of paper. This invention allowed builders to complete the installation process faster, as the long drying time associated with plaster was eliminated. CGC, which has manufactured and distributed Sheetrock products in Canada since the 1930s, is celebrating the milestone with a series of events across Canada bringing together employees, dealers, and customers.
