Owens Corning is back in the pink. The holding company for insulation manufacturer Owens Corning (now Owens Corning Sales) has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after undergoing a six-year reorganization stemming from the financial toll of asbestos-related lawsuits. It has since resumed its role as a global leader of residential and commercial building materials, including foam insulation, roofing shingles, stone veneer for basements and sun rooms, and glass fiber used in bathtubs and showers. Owens Corning is among the largest insulation manufacturers in North America and is also active in South America, Europe, and Asia.
