E.J. Bartells employees exposed to asbestos

Headquartered in Renton, Washington, the company was a manufacturer of refractory and industrial products whose goal was to offer “the most complete line of insulation/refractory products and services available on the market” between 1923 and 2004.

The company was another business that could no longer afford to pay out compensation to harmed workers, so it followed the example of other asbestos manufacturers and sought bankruptcy protection in 2000. Their asbestos trust fund was set up one year later.
