AMCO NEWS--Adams-Millis Corporation Know Your Company (Editor's Note: This article, the first in a series on Adams-MLllis Corporation and its divisions, was prepared by Charles M. Smith, Jr., personnel director of Adams-Millis Texturing and Dyeing. ) ADAMSMILLIS TEXTURING AND DYEING I Headquartered at 1900 South Elm Street, High Point, N. C., Adams-Millis Texturing and Dyeing operates a new ultra-modern facility for texturing and dyeing natural yarns. Adams-Millis Texturing and Dyeing is a combination of modern manufacturing facilities, equipment representing the latest technological advances, and, most importantly, a team of well-trained professional individuals. This growing division of Adams-Millis Corporation began as part of TexElastic Corporation in Arch dale, N. C. to supply textured, nylon and poly ester yarn, primarily for hosiery and sports wear, to the garment industry. TexElastic, already a producer of elastic yarn for the men's and ladies' hosiery industry, entered the textured yarn field in 1968, the same year that it merged with Adams-Millis Corpora tion.

After entering into this agreement, the Texturing Division soon changed its name to Adams-Millis Texturing. MODERN MECHANIZATION The end of the year saw additional expansion with the construction of a package dye plant built adjacent to the texturing facilities. This addi tion enabled the company to furnish its customers superior dye yarns, and at the same time, through diversification, enhance its position in the yarnmarket. The most revolutionary dyeing equipment available was installed in the new plant. The Calibo-De-Bilquey dyeing system allowed yarn to be dyed at extremely high speeds--its normal dyeing cycle being approxi mately three times faster than the conventional package yarn dyeing systems. Adams-Millis Texturing was one of the first companies in the
