Agasote Millboard Company
Outerbridge incorporated the Agasote Millboard Company in 1909 to produce a high-density fiberboard. The company used the material to produce roof panels for railroad cars and the roofs of automobiles. In 1916, the company introduced Homasote, a versatile fiberboard made from recycled materials, made by the Homasote Company in West Trenton, New Jersey. Homasote was still being produced as of November, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word company:
“All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself—a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
