The History
A - Best Products Company began manufacturing protective textiles for emergency and industrial workers in the 1970s. Their products, designed for protection in extreme or hazardous environments, were used across various industries including firefighting, manufacturing, and steel production.
The company produced items such as aprons, gloves, overalls, blankets, and fire - resistant drapes. Over time, asbestos - related lawsuits increased. Manufacturing of asbestos - containing products ceased in 1984, yet by 2002 the company faced approximately 50,000 lawsuits, leading to bankruptcy.
As part of the 2004 bankruptcy proceedings, the A - Best Asbestos Settlement Trust was created with an initial $18 million in assets.
