The recent emergence from bankruptcy of the Thorpe Insulation Company and Pacific Insulation Company has led to the establishment of the Thorpe Insulation Settlement Trust. This article sheds light on the purpose and functionalities of this trust, clarifies potential confusion with other similarly named entities, and provides direct contact information for related queries.

Established under an order from the United States Bankruptcy Court in California, the Thorpe Insulation Settlement Trust serves as the central body to process asbestos-related claims for the Thorpe Insulation Company and the Pacific Insulation Company. As a part of its operations, the former was not only a distributor but also a contractor for asbestos-containing thermal insulation products. They have a significant history of working at various locations, from oil refineries in Southern California to schools, hospitals, and even some shipyards.

Individuals or entities with claims related to the asbestos products of Thorpe Insulation Company and Pacific Insulation Company can direct their concerns to the Thorpe Insulation Settlement Trust, situated in Reno, Nevada. However, it's essential to understand the distinct identity of this trust to avoid confusion with other similarly named trusts and companies.

For clarity: The trust should not be mistaken for the "J.T. Thorpe Company Successor Trust" in Texas or the "J.T. Thorpe Settlement Trust" in Reno, Nevada, both of which cater to different companies with no relation to the Thorpe Insulation Company in California. Similarly, the "Thorpe Corporation" in Texas and "J.T. Thorpe & Son Inc." have no affiliations with the Thorpe Insulation Company, which primarily functioned in Southern California.
