“The successful application of the White Mountain anorthosite in a commercial glass fiber furnace is a significant milestone for our Company,” stated James Tuer, President of Hudson. “We are excited to be working with Owens Corning, who are not only the inventors of fiberglass but also the industry leaders in fiberglass manufacturing and innovation. We look forward to continuing to work with Owens Corning to put the material to use commercially.”
