BARRIE, Ont. — Weatherstripping manufacturer Jacobs & Thompson launched a whole new product line yesterday, Polar Bear Products. J&T is foam fabricator with four facilities in North America (two in Canada and two in the U.S.). The company has long been supplying the industrial market, but recently developed its own retail line under the Polar Bear brand. The line consists of 150 SKUs of foam tapes, door sweeps, eavestrough foam, and window kits. To underscore its commitment to energy saving, the company supports Polar Bears International, an organization that is fighting to reduce climate change and protect polar bears. (Shown l-r: Robert Greene, VP Consumer Products Div.; Stephanie Crema, Marketing Manager; and Chris Brand, President.)
