An internationally known environmental icon, Homasote Company is the oldest manufacturer of building products made from recycled materials in the U.S., and the only manufacturer of its kind in the Americas. Our 600,000 square-foot factory complex in New Jersey, is a few miles from the spot where George Washington crossed the Delaware on his way to the Battle of Trenton.

Each production day we recycle (and keep out of landfills) up to 100 tons of recycled cellulose fiber. Every production year our unique manufacturing process helps conserve nearly 750,000 trees and eliminates more than 30 million pounds of solid waste that otherwise would go into landfills.

Our environmental commitment goes beyond raw material recycling. Homasote Company is the first manufacturer in the United States to recycle nearly all water used to manufacture our products. The Company's process water, hundreds of thousands of gallons per day, is completely reused in a closed-loop system, a recycling feat recognized in 1956 by an award from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the precursor to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).

The Company has a fascinating history that began with its 1909 inception as one of the last offshoots of the original Bermuda Trading Company. Today architects, builders, specifiers, hobbyists, and others across the globe know Homasote Company for its exceptionally environmental, structural building and packaging products.

The explosion of interest in green building, sustainability and energy efficiency championed by organizations, including the U.S. Green Building Council and its LEED™ Program, has made Homasote® products among the world's most recognized "green" building materials. Some of the most energy efficient, high performance LEED™ structures in the country are being built today with Homasote® products in their floors, walls, roofs and walkways.

Eugenius H. Outerbridge founded Homasote Company in 1909 as the "Agasote Millboard Company." An industrialist who brought Homasote's secret manufacturing process to the U.S. from England, Outerbridge was the first chairman of what is now the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Those who have traversed the "Outerbridge" between New Jersey and Staten Island, New York will recognize our founder's last name. The 8,800-foot-long Outerbridge span, which opened in January 1928, is named in honor of Outerbridge the man - not because the bridge is "out" in the water or attached to the "outer" part of either state.

Eugenius H. Outerbridge's Agasote Millboard Company first manufactured sanded panels for the lining and sides of railroad carriages. In 1915, the Company found that Agasote was suitable for automobile tops and for the next 10 years we also supplied board for the tops of Ford, Buick, Nash, Studebaker, Dodge and other automobiles. A derivative product, called, "Vehisote," was developed for delivery truck panels and it became a standard for Dodge and other trucks.
