Armstrong World Industries
Armstrong World Industries established its Retirement Savings Plan in 1937. The defined-benefit vehicle remains sponsored by the global designer and manufacturer of ceiling, wall, and suspension system solutions. The plan deploys capital across mutual funds and direct real estate. Confirmed holdings include positions in MSIF Trust Value Portfolio and Fidelity Equity Income Fund. Manufacturing facilities in Marietta, Pensacola, and Macon support the sponsor's operations in North America and select international markets. The plan reports 413 million dollars under management. Armstrong maintains the Armstrong World Industries Foundation, established in 1985, which directs grants toward community development in the United States. Victor D. Grizzle is scheduled to transition to Executive Chair in 2026, with Mark Hershey assuming the CEO role in April of that year. The pension sits within a corporate structure that includes a 50 percent stake in Worthington Armstrong Venture and full ownership of 3form and Arktura LLC. These operating businesses shape capital allocation alongside the defined-benefit mandate.
