Owens Corning is one of the world's top makers of fiberglass and composite materials. The company, which uses the Pink Panther cartoon character as its pitchman, sells fiberglass and foam insulation. Owens Corning's building-materials unit also manufactures roofing materials, vinyl windows, patio doors, vinyl siding, and rain gutters and downspouts. The company's composite-materials segment makes composites used in the automotive, electronics, and telecommunications industries. Owens Corning operates manufacturing facilities in the US and about a dozen other countries. The company has filed for bankruptcy protection to help it cope with billions of dollars in asbestos-related lawsuits.
