Little Rock, Arkansas – On Wednesday, Sierra Group Roofing and Solar announced it’s expanding into metal manufacturing specializing in standing seam, R-panel, gutters, and metal roofing accessories made with galvanized steel and galvalume.

The expansion will include an investment of $1.6 million for a new 11,000 square foot headquarters in Blytheville and will create 40 full-time jobs locally.

“Today’s announcement reiterates our commitment to Mississippi County and the state of Arkansas by providing the best supply chain solution and value add to our markets,” Marcos Sierra, Sierra Group Roofing and Solar president and the chief executive officer said. “Our intention with this investment is to offer our customers in the region the combined benefit of localized service and access to local resources.”
