PROFILE |
 |
James Hardie Industries takes the rap for wrapping homes in fiber cement. The company makes fiber cement products (48% of sales) under the Hardi brand, primarily in Australia, New Zealand, the US, and the Philippines. A pioneer in the use of cellulose-reinforced fiber cement, James Hardie uses the material to create such products as siding, external cladding, walls, and roofing. The company also makes gypsum wallboard and fiber cement-reinforced pipes. Under pressure from falling gypsum prices, the company has shed its poorly performing window manufacturing business and has been expanding its US operations. UB Minerals (Aust) owns about 29% of James Hardie.
