Jackson Plant
To Close On
April 30th
Addison-Rudesal, Inc., an
Atlanta-based building sup
ply manufacturer that has
operated a Jackson plant for
the past five years, announc
ed this week that the Jackson
operation will be closed on
April 30th.
Dick O’Hara, manager of
the local Addison-Rudesal
facility, said that the plant is
being closed due to a
consolidation of the firm’s
five manufacturing facilities.
Each of the company’s
manufacturing plants have
become independent, O’Hara
said, lessening the need for a
feeder-type operation such as
the one being operated here.
The Jackson plant pro
duced doors, windows and
gable louvers, with employ
ment averaging around 20,
subject to seasonal fluctua
tions.
The plant closing should
result in no increase in the
County’s unemployment
rate, as most of the
employees are being hired by
other Jackson industries,
O’Hara said.
Addison-Rudesal, Inc. be
gan its Jackson operation in
February, 1972.
The 40,000 sq. ft. building
soon to become vacant was
constructed by the Butts
County Development Corpo
ration for Gateway Luggage
Company. M. W. Carmichael
now owns the building,
having purchased the stock
of the development corpora
tion from a number of
citizens who originally raised
funds to attract industry to
Jackson.
