WILMINGTON, DEL., Feb.
2—Burlington Industries, Inc.,
major textile producer, ex
pects its 1967 capital expend
iture program to be at least
one-third below its record out
lay of $159 million last year
for punt and equipment.
Charles F. Myers, Jr., presi
dent, told the annual meeting
of shareholders here today that
capital investment this year
will be directed toward mod
ernization projects to increase
production efficiency, rather
than expansion.
The Company completed six
new plants last year. A seventh
is now beginning operations,
and a new research center will
be opened shortly near Greens
boro, N. C.
A decline in sales and earn
ings which began in Burling
ton's fourth quarter last year
continued through the first
quarter of fiscal 1967, Mr
Myers noted.
"The short-term business
•utlook is extremely difficult
to forecast," he said. "Most
economists expect consumer
spending for non-durables, in
cluding apparel, to increase in
1967, but the rate of increase
is expected to be more moder
ate than in 1966."
Textile business in the home
furnishings area has been af
fected by the decline in new
housing starts, Mr. Myers add
ed, but recent improvement as
rsult of mortgage money be
coming more available should
bring additional demand for
home furnishings.
The Burlington chief execu
tive said maintenance of a
"healthy balance between sales
and inventories is especially
important in the current
period of adjustment, and we
consider it not only realistic
helpful long range lo
keep production closely m line
with demand. The fact that the
industry generally is follow
ing this policy should help
moderate the effect of the
present slowdown in textile
markets."
Government sales in the
Company's first fiscal quarter
were slightly over 5% of total
sales for the period, and are
expected to remain at approxi
mately the same level for the
immediate future.
New products, including a
soil-release process for poly
ester/cotton durable press fab
rics announced as a significant
development by Burlington
last week ,were cited as an
area receiving increased at
tention.
"Burlington has experienced
rapid growth in the past ten
years," Mr. Myers stated in his
comments to shareholders.
"Sales have doubled since 1987,
and net earnings last year
were nearly five times greater
than in 1957. This span of time
included dips but the trend
has been steadily upward. We
are confident that the out
look for longer-range growth
of the textile industry is quite
good, as it is for the American
economy overall, and that
Bdrlington will be in excel
lent position to capitalize on
its investment in modern pro
ductive facilities."
