🏆 Recognition for Responsible Growth ROCKWOOL North America was awarded the 2026 Economic Development Project of the Year – Business Recruitment Award by the Washington Economic Development Association — selected from 18 nominations across Washington state. The award honors our investment in Walla Walla County, our Wallula manufacturing facility, and our partnership with the Port of Walla Walla. We were recognized for creating jobs, generating lasting economic impact, and welcoming new industry to the community in a way that works for everyone. "This award is especially meaningful because it recognizes both the business impact and the strength of the partnership behind the project," says Paul Espinosa, Public Affairs Manager. The bigger picture: Awards celebrate achievements, but they represent something more—that responsible growth, community engagement, and strong partnerships create value for everyone. It strengthens our credibility, deepens community relationships, and reinforces the pride we take in our role beyond our factory walls. Congratulations to all our colleagues who made this happen. 🙌

Kicking Goals On and Off the Field Team Rockfon recently traded work shoes for cleats at the Annual Corporate Challenge Cup, an event bringing together companies citywide to support free sports and play programs for Chicago Public Schools students. With energy, teamwork, and a shared sense of purpose, our team embodied the Rockwool Way values of ambition—striving for excellence both on and off the field—and responsibility—giving back to the communities where we live and work. The excitement of the tournament was matched only by its impact: helping more students access safe, healthy play. We’re proud of our team for representing Rockfon with spirit, determination, and heart. Great job, team—proving that when we work (and play) together, we make a real difference!
