Shortages Hit Two Athens Plants Amid Energy Crisis
The Athens Abex plant cut to 252 production workers with 55 administrative staff after peak 370 in 1969, while Litton’s Athens facility reduced personnel to about 120 production workers and 80 administrative staff. Both plants cut in-plant temperatures and conserved energy as paper shortages and aluminum stockpiling strain operations. Litton faces higher costs from substitute papers and tight supply as it ships from Mead Corporation’s Chillicothe mill and other sources.
