A google search returns this generic information. http://www.upcdatabase.com/item/772677002488 Using the bar code scanner on my smartphone to look up the barcode from that website turns up even less information. |

: Don't know that you can find the manufacturer via the barcode. You can. The first six digits are the manufacturer's specific code, called the "Company Prefix". All but one of the rest of the numbers are for the company's use for product identification. The last number is a check digit, which validates the rest of the number. -- Tegger |

: Your sheetrock was marketed by CertainTeed Gypsum Canada, Inc. Please take careful note that the company listed on the UPC is the one that sold the product directly to the retailer. Identification of the actual /manufacturer/ of the product is /not/ part of the UPC standard. The actual manufacturer(s) may or may not be several times removed from the company that sold the product to the retailer, and there exist absolutely no records of any kind which would follow that, outside of internal company records. ******* Also please take careful note that it's not a sure thing that CertainTeed will assume responsibility for the product or its performance post-sale. They may insist that you go through their retail-selling partner (the place you bought it from) for any assistance, which is part of the retailer's job. ******* The upshot: Don't be surprised if you get stonewalled by CertainTeed; you're not really supposed to be calling them. -- Tegger |

I have CertainTeed drywall sheets that I bought last year in my garage that say made in the USA. And I live in Canada. |
