With its diverse set of products and services, backed by a decades-long history, Owens Corning aims to improve the function and appearance of buyers’ homes. Though Owens Corning’s modern incarnation was founded in 1996, it has a decades-long history of manufacturing glass-based products.
During the last 30 years of the 19th century, multiple companies and individuals experimented with glass wool, an early predecessor to the fiberglass used in modern housing insulation. They constructed plants, which became large-scale bottle factories.
In the late 1920s and 1930s, American bottle manufacturers began testing fiberglass production techniques. Entrepreneurs continued funding research into the material, despite the use of out-of-date equipment during fiberglass’ production. In 1932, the first commercial fiberglass product, a dust-stop filter, was sold.
In modern times, Owens Corning sells shingles and home insulation, and helps customers find the right product and installer for them.
