JPS Industries, Inc. Changes Name of JPS Glass Division
GREENVILLE, S.C., June 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JPS Industries, Inc. (Pink
Sheets: JPST) announced today that it has changed the name of its JPS Glass
division to JPS Composite Materials Corp. JPS Glass was the sole operating
entity of JPS Industries' wholly owned subsidiary JPS Converter and Industrial
Corp. The new JPS Composite Materials Corp. name replaces both prior names.
Gary Wallace, President of JPS Composite Materials Corp., stated, "The JPS
Glass name has served us well and we are proud of our many accomplishments.
While that name once described our mission well, our company and our markets
continue to evolve. JPS Composite Materials Corp. more accurately reflects who
we have become and better indicates our commitment to continue to make the
process and product changes necessary to meet the new and diverse technical
demands of today's and tomorrow's market place."
Michael L. Fulbright, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of JPS
Industries, Inc., stated, "When we recast JPS Industries several years ago, we
determined that JPS Glass would be a key component in our strategy to build a
Company focused on serving specialty industrial markets. Their commitment to
customer satisfaction, quality products, technical innovation, and ability to
adapt to market forces and changes is captured very well in their new
nameplate. Today we see even more potential for the second half of this decade
with JPS Composite Materials than was the case at the beginning of 2000 with
JPS Glass."
