Asbestos history and bankruptcy

The GST Settlement Facility was established under the Modified Joint Plan of Reorganization of Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC and its affiliates and OldCo, LLC, the successor by merger to Coltec Industries Inc. Garlock's Chapter 11 case was filed on June 5, 2010 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina under Case No. 10-BK-31607. On June 12, 2017, EnPro Industries announced that the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina had entered an order confirming the joint plan. The plan implemented a settlement reached in March 2016 and was meant to resolve current and future asbestos claims against the reorganized subsidiaries. The facility began accepting asbestos personal injury claims on September 17, 2018. Its Claims Resolution Procedures offer Expedited Claim Review and Extraordinary Claim Review, and the trustee sets a payment percentage meant to treat settled, pre-petition judgment and other claims on the same basis.
