STH 7^ National Spinning Expands Warsaw Plant w ff m ? m < % National Spinning Cbmpan's expalMion and I renovation has provided a new and T|eparate entrance for5the Personnel Department. An Employment Offlce. slgn directs applicants to the prefer department leaving (he original entrance for salesman and other businesses. National Spinning Compaiy started construction early In 1968 on a 40,000 square foot addition at their Warsaw plant. Construction to the plant has been completed and a warehouse is now being added. Primarily this addition is to be used for production, however major changes were made lp the administrative department. A new entrance was madefor the personnel offices wMch were moved into an area ren ovated to provide additional sp ace for interviewing and test ing. . A lobby provides ample space for applicants seeking employment. The quality con trol laboratory has been expan ded, a plant conference room has been added, additional rest room facilities installed, a lar ger canteen has been provided, in addition to a much larger production area. New machinery has been in stalled in the production area, or will be placed 1 n operation in the immediate future. In addition to the afore men tioned construction or expan sion National Spinning is pre sently constructing a 25,000 foot addition to provide more warehouse space. Upon com pletion of this ltfest expansion, this plant will be almost twice as large in square feet area as it was in its original form. -AH o?_ these expansions means more jobs for more people. The number of emp loyees at the plant presently is at least 40 percent greater than before expansion started. Employees at the plant now number more than 450, and the annual payroll provided by the plant Is now in excess of two million dollars. In as much as virtually every community in the county is represented at the Warsaw plant, it is reas onable to assume that the entire county benefits from this manu facturing facility. Mr. Freddie Bell, general manager of the plant, stated that tne Warsaw plant of Na tional Spinning Company is one of the largest producers of Ban-Lon yarns in the country. The plant also produces stretch yarns which both of these are used in the outer-ware trade for such items as men's hos iery, sport shirts, ladies shells ana dresses. In addition to the Warsaw plant and the other plants lo cated in Washington and White ville, National Spinning Com pany has recently announced the planned construction of a new plant in Beulaville.
