About PABCO® Gypsum : Company Information

PABCO Gypsum began operating in 1972 with the acquisition of a wallboard plant in Newark, California. Five years later, the company expanded its gypsum manufacturing capabilities with the acquisition of a Las Vegas plant and gypsum quarry in Nevada. Both plants have been expanded and modernized and now supply over 1.65 billion square feet of gypsum board annually.

The Las Vegas manufacturing and mining operation is the cornerstone of PABCO’s dedication to quality, which begins literally from the ground up. Because we are sitting on our own gypsum deposit, we’re able to extract the ore from the ground and load it directly into our wallboard manufacturing facility. The ore is extracted, processed, refined, and produced into gypsum panels all within our 4,200- acre footprint under the watchful eyes of some of the most tenured gypsum professionals in the country.

The acquisitions continued with the purchase of QuietRock in 2013, which brought the industry’s first sound reducing drywall into the PABCO family. With manufacturing located in Newark, California, adjacent to PABCO’s existing wallboard plant, the QuietRock product line was a natural addition to the PABCO family.

Since QuietRock’s origination in 2003, it has earned over 40 U.S. and foreign patent and patent applications. QuietRock achieves high sound attenuation and fire resistance in one panel using less space, material, and labor than conventional alternatives. Its advanced development team and a broad network of distributors and contractors throughout the U.S. and Canada contribute to thousands of QuietRock projects across North America.
