Johns-Manville

Johns-Manville was once the largest manufacturer and supplier of asbestos-containing products in the United States, producing insulation, pipe coverings, roofing, brake linings, and hundreds of other materials for most of the 20th century. The company is historically significant because internal documents revealed it knew about the health hazards of asbestos for decades before warning workers or the public. In 1982, facing tens of thousands of personal injury lawsuits, Johns-Manville filed for bankruptcy protection and later established one of the first and largest asbestos trust funds to compensate victims.

Origin

The company traces to H.W. Johns Manufacturing Company, founded in New York in 1858 by Henry Ward Johns, and the Manville Covering Company, founded in Wisconsin in 1886 by Charles Manville. The two merged in 1901 to form H.W. Johns-Manville Company, which dominated the U.S. asbestos industry for most of the next century.

Corporate history

According to the 1986 Sourcebook on Asbestos Diseases, a compilation by plaintiffs' attorneys, H.W. Johns Co. was formed in 1901, about three years after Henry Ward Johns died, by a merger of the Asbestos Packing Co. and C.W. Trainer. Later that year it merged with the Manville Covering Co. of Milwaukee, and the company was incorporated in December 1901 as Johns-Manville Inc., with T.F. Manville Sr. as president.¹ The book does not use the name H.W. Johns-Manville Company given above; it calls the merged firm Johns Manville Co. and the incorporated company Johns-Manville Inc.¹ After T.F. Manville Sr. died in 1925, his brother H.E. Manville became president. In 1926 the company was reorganized and incorporated in New York, and the next year its shares passed from limited to wide public ownership.¹

The book lists acquisitions that included the Celite Co. of Lompoc, California, and Banner Rock Products of Alexandria, Indiana, a rock wool maker (both 1928); the Goetze Gasket & Packing Co. (bought in 1947, resold in 1975); L.O.F. Glass Fibers Co. (December 31, 1958); and the Holophane Co., which the book spells Halophane (1971).¹ In 1929 the company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights to make the asbestos-cement pipe then produced by Eternit Pietra Artificiale.¹ On December 31, 1967, it acquired 75 percent of Fibreboard Corp.'s gypsum capacity.² The book says that in 1979 the Jeffrey mill in Quebec, owned by Johns-Manville Sales Corporation of Denver, was the largest asbestos fiber producer in the world, at 650,000 tons a year, and that the same company managed and partly owned the Advocate mine at Baie Verte, Newfoundland.² In 1982 the company was reorganized and renamed Manville Corporation, and a bankruptcy petition followed in New York.²

Significance in Asbestos Context

Johns-Manville is central to asbestos litigation history. Internal corporate records, including the "Sumner Simpson papers" uncovered in the 1970s, showed that company executives discussed asbestos disease risks as early as the 1930s while suppressing that information from workers, customers, and the public. After its 1982 bankruptcy, the company created the Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust in 1988, the prototype for the asbestos bankruptcy trust system that now pays claims to most asbestos victims. If you or a loved one worked with insulation, refractory products, pipe covering, or building materials between roughly 1930 and 1980, there is a strong chance Johns-Manville products were on the worksite, and a claim against the Manville Trust may be part of your recovery.

Notes

• Gather employment records, union records, Social Security earnings statements, and co-worker statements that can place you at sites where Johns-Manville products were used. Product identification is the key to filing a Manville Trust claim.
• Common Johns-Manville product lines to look for in work histories include "Thermobestos," "Asbestocel," "Transite," "Marinite," and 85% Magnesia pipe insulation; mentioning these by name in interviews with family or former coworkers can jog memories.
• A Manville Trust claim does not prevent you from pursuing claims against other manufacturers or trusts; your legal team should evaluate every product you encountered, not just Johns-Manville.
• Preserve any old invoices, purchase orders, photographs, or specification sheets from job sites. These documents are valuable evidence of product exposure decades after the fact.
