Deciding where to locate a plant involves considering a number of factors. One in particular, a business-friendly climate, is often cited as being one of the top considerations.

“GAF is committed to creating good American manufacturing jobs, and Missouri is the place to do it,” said Bob Tafaro, CEO of GAF. “The state offers a low-tax climate and an experienced workforce that create an ideal business environment to help propel GAF’s success.”
