On this page about Owens Corning:
Owens Corning Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of fiberglass and related products. It was formed in 1935 as a partnership between two major American glassworks, Corning Glass Works and Owens-Illinois. The company was spun off as a separate entity November 1, 1938. The company achieved major successes after the Second World War, with eventual annual sales of $6 billion (USD). However, major medical liabilities due to the company's use of asbestos as a fireproofing agent led to the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2000. The company announced on May 10, 2006 that it has reached agreement with key creditor groups on a consensual reorganization plan that would resolve all Chapter 11-related issues.
