Analysis of Agreement Containing 

Consent Order to Aid Public Comment 

I. Introduction 

The Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, subject to 

final approval, an Agreement 

Containing Consent Order from Owens 

Corning (‘‘Respondent’’). The Consent 

Agreement is intended to resolve 

anticompetitive effects stemming from 

Owens Corning’s proposed acquisition 

of certain glass fiber reinforcements and 

composite fabric assets from Compagnie 

de Saint Gobain (‘‘Saint Gobain). The 

Consent Agreement includes a proposed 

Decision and Order which requires 

Respondent Owens Corning to divest its 

North American Continuous Filament 

Mat (‘‘CFM’’) Business, which includes 

the CFM production facility in 

Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, the Marbles 

Furnace in Anderson, South Carolina, 

which supplies the Huntingdon facility, 

and related technology and other assets 

used in the CFM business. The 

proposed Decision and Order also 

requires the licensing of all Owens 

Corning intellectual property related to 

the production of CFM and certain CFM 

furnace technology. 

Owens Corning and Saint Gobain 

originally planned to combine their 

respective glass fiber reinforcement 

businesses in a new entity to be called 

Owens Corning Vetrotex 

Reinforcements. The new entity was to
