PROFILE |
 |
USG has more walls than a maze. The company makes gypsum wallboard (its SHEETROCK brand is #1 in the world), ready-mixed joint compounds, fiberglass-reinforced cement board, ceiling suspension grid, and ceiling tile for residential and commercial construction. To produce gypsum rock for use in its products, the company owns 15 mines in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Subsidiary Gypsum Transportation moves USG's gypsum from its mines to its manufacturing plants; subsidiary L&W Supply distributes gypsum wallboard to contractors and builders. Warren Buffett has a 15% stake in the company, which has filed for bankruptcy protection due to asbestos litigation costs.
