Specimen Stock printed by American Bank Note Company. National Gypsum Company, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, specializes in the production of drywall gypsum boards within the United States. The company operates 17 gypsum board manufacturing facilities across the country and positions itself as a comprehensive building products manufacturer. Established as a private entity, it was incorporated as New NGC, Inc. in 1993 following a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 1990. In 1995, Clemmie Spangler acquired National Gypsum for $1.2 billion through Delcor Inc., a private investment firm under his control. Spangler, who had previously served as chairman and held a 20% stake in the company, ultimately led his family to acquire full ownership. National Gypsum is among six major producers that collectively account for approximately 81% of the global wallboard market, alongside Georgia Pacific, Knauf, Continental Building Products, Saint-Gobain, and Yoshino Gypsum Co., Ltd. Its subsidiary, National Gypsum (Canada) Ltd., manages the largest open-pit gypsum mine globally, located in Milford Station, Nova Scotia. The company was founded in 1925 by Melvin H. Baker, Joseph F. Haggerty, and Clarence E. Williams.
