GAF Materials LLC

Company overview. GAF Materials LLC (commonly "GAF"; also cited as GAF Materials Corporation) is a privately held manufacturing company headquartered at 1 Campus Drive, Parsippany, New Jersey. Its roots trace to 1886 (originally Standard Paint Company; the GAF name followed a 1967 merger with General Aniline & Film). GAF is a subsidiary of Standard Industries, a privately held, New York–based global industrial group with roughly 20,000 employees and about $11 billion in annual revenue. GAF itself reports 4,800–5,000+ employees across ~30 U.S. locations; as a private subsidiary it does not publish standalone revenue, though third-party sources estimate sales approaching $3 billion.

Products / services. GAF describes itself as North America's largest roofing and waterproofing manufacturer. It makes residential and commercial roofing products, including asphalt and laminated shingles (e.g., Timberline), TPO/PVC and modified-bitumen membranes, polyisocyanurate insulation, roof deck protection, leak barriers, ventilation products, coatings, and metal roofing, sold through a nationwide contractor network. Sister company GAF Energy (also under Standard Industries) markets the nailable Timberline Solar shingle.

Patent-litigation posture. GAF is an operating company, not a patent assertion entity: it has 0 tracked cases as plaintiff and 1 as defendant. The single tracked matter — Eagle View Technologies, Inc. et al. v. GAF Materials LLC (filed May 4, 2021, D.N.J., Camden Vicinage) — is a patent-infringement suit in which GAF is the defendant. Court filings indicate the case was later transferred to the District of Utah as related to a parallel EagleView suit against Nearmap; the record also reflects GAF raising patent-misuse defenses and an antitrust counterclaim tied to an EagleView/Verisk settlement.

Notable context. The asserted patents concern aerial-imagery roof measurement and report generation; GAF's accused "QuickMeasure" roof reports were reportedly white-labeled from third-party software providers (Nearmap and Pushpin). GAF's dispute history otherwise does not show a pattern of active patent litigation — consistent with a large manufacturer defending a product-related infringement claim rather than monetizing patents.
