CertainTeed Corporation plant at Ambler, Pennsylvania

CertainTeed Corporation listed a plant on South Main Street in Ambler, Pennsylvania, among its asbestos-cement pipe plants in its sworn answers in a 2000 lawsuit, dated "(1938-1982)."¹ The same answers say CertainTeed began making asbestos-cement pipe on June 1, 1962, and that dust samples "were taken periodically" at its asbestos-cement pipe plants after that date by state or federal agencies or its insurers' loss control departments, and after 1973 by its own employees.¹ So the answers date the Ambler plant from 1938, while saying CertainTeed itself began making asbestos-cement pipe in 1962.¹
