Company profile

Owens Corning Roofing & Asphalt, LLC is a Delaware-organized LLC with its principal place of business at One Owens Corning Parkway, Toledo, Ohio (Florida and Illinois foreign-entity registrations; SEC filings). It is a subsidiary of Owens Corning (NYSE: OC), the building-products manufacturer founded in 1938 and headquartered in Toledo. Parent-level scale: roughly 25,000 employees and about $11 billion in 2024 revenue (GlobalData, PitchBook, MarketScreener). Owens Corning completed the sale of its glass reinforcements business to Praana Group in May 2026 and now reports three segments — Roofing, Insulation and Doors.

The entity sits inside Owens Corning's Roofing business, which manufactures and sells residential asphalt roofing shingles (laminate and strip), oxidized asphalt, roofing components and synthetic roofing underlayment. Its underlayment lines include Titanium, RhinoRoof and ProArmor, acquired with InterWrap in April 2016 for $450 million (InterWrap press release). It also operates asphalt plants producing paving asphalt, saturants and coatings — for example in Jacksonville, Florida and Memphis, Tennessee (EPA Title V permit; Port of Memphis).

Litigation posture: strictly a defendant — 1 tracked case as defendant, 0 as plaintiff. That one-way pattern is the signature of an operating company defending against a non-practicing entity, not an NPE or a two-way litigant.

Notable case: Kirsch Research & Development, LLC v. Owens Corning et al., No. 1:20-cv-00901 (N.D. Ohio), filed 2020-04-24, naming Owens Corning, Owens Corning Roofing & Asphalt, LLC and InterWrap Corp. Plaintiff Kirsch (Simi Valley, California) asserted U.S. Patent Nos. 6,308,482 and 8,765,251 on synthetic roofing underlayment, and filed a parallel ITC Section 337 action (Inv. No. 337-TA-1202) against ten roofing respondents (USITC). The district case was stayed in August 2020 pending the ITC; the PTAB instituted IPR2020-01389 against a Kirsch patent in February 2021, and the parties settled all disputes (Jones Day). Venue was the defendant's home district, not the Eastern District of Texas.
