Johns-Manville Corporation

Johns-Manville Corporation was a major American manufacturer known for producing insulation materials, roofing, and building products. Founded in 1901, it played a significant role in the construction and manufacturing industries. Over time, it faced challenges due to asbestos-related health issues among workers and consumers, leading to widespread lawsuits and financial difficulties. The company eventually filed for bankruptcy in the 1980s and restructured. Today, Johns-Manville continues as a subsidiary, focusing on advanced insulation and roofing solutions, while honoring its history of products that contributed to building safety and efficiency.
