Owens Corning, a company established in 1938 and headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, is a prominent global producer and marketer of insulation, roofing, and fiberglass composite materials. Its operations span the United States, Canada, Europe, the Asia Pacific region, and other international markets. The company is structured around three core business segments: Composites, Insulation, and Roofing. The Composites division engineers and supplies glass reinforcements, including fibers, and a variety of glass fiber-based goods such as fabrics, non-woven materials, and other specialized items. These essential components are integral to applications like building frameworks, roofing shingles, tubs and showers, swimming pools, flooring, pipelines, electrical equipment, and wind-energy turbine blades. They cater to the building and construction, renewable energy, and infrastructure industries, channeling their offerings directly to part molders, fabricators, and shingle manufacturers. The Insulation segment provides a comprehensive range of insulating solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial settings, addressing both thermal and sound management needs. Its portfolio encompasses glass fiber pipe insulation, flexible duct media, bonded and granulated mineral fiber insulation, cellular glass insulation, and foam insulation products specifically designed for construction purposes. These offerings are distributed predominantly through insulation installers, home improvement stores, lumber suppliers, retailers, and distributors, under well-known brands such as Thermafiber, FOAMULAR, FOAMGLAS, Paroc, Owens Corning PINK, and FIBERGLAS Insulation. Finally, the Roofing segment manufactures both laminate and strip asphalt roofing shingles, oxidized asphalt products, and ancillary roofing components for use in residential and commercial construction and specialty applications, alongside synthetic packaging materials. Its robust distribution network encompasses distributors, home centers, lumberyards, retailers, and general contractors, as well as directly to roofing contractors for built-up asphalt roofing systems, and industrial manufacturers within the automotive, chemical, rubber, and construction sectors.
