FYI - The company that makes shingles is Owens Corning. Originally, this was a joint venture between Owens-Illinois and Corning Glassworks (1935) but has been a separate company on the Fortune 500 since 1955. While Corning Inc today makes many products that you use (but don't know that you are using them), they do not make shingles.
