Therefore, the Duro-Last roofing that the Duerson Corporation uses comes from the manufacturing plant in Sigourney, Iowa. Other plants in the US are located in Grants Pass Oregon, Jackson Mississippi, Carrollton Texas, and Ludlow Massachusetts, while Duro-Last’s corporate headquarters is in Saginaw Michigan.

Sustainability has been a part of the Duro-Last culture for more that 20 years. They believe in not just using sustainable materials and buildings, but also believe in eliminating or reducing waste. By repurposing and covering an industrial or commercial roof in Duro-Last, there is minimal waste that ends up in the landfill. Additionally, Duro-Last has great recycling programs where our plants accept old roofing from Duro-Last contractors like Duerson and repurpose it into more Duro-Last roofing.
Duro-Last roofs by the Duerson Corporation are also held to very high energy efficiency ratings—it is one of the most energy efficient roof systems on the market today. Based on ENERGY STAR testing procedures, it has an initial reflectivity of 87.5%, and has a total emittance of 95%.
