“Hillsboro, Texas is a great place to work, to do business, and to succeed. That’s thanks in large part to the organizations and people who are dedicated to the community’s growth and prosperity, and to ensuring a vibrant atmosphere and economy that help businesses thrive.

Connections to rail and resources brought two roofing leaders to Hillsboro: IKO Southwest opening its 250,0000-sq.-ft. shingle manufacturing and distribution operation in 2018, and Johns Manville cutting the ribbon on its 420,000-sq.-ft. polyiso facility in 2022. Success was rapid for both operations. IKO almost immediately expanded production as it moved to 24/7 operations—doing so while achieving an ARMA Perfect Employee Safety Certificate and earning a regional “Business of the Year“ award. Johns Manville is also thriving, and drawing praise from across the state, including the Texas Economic Development Council
