US Representative Westmoreland Visits Southern Mills
Southern Mills had the pleasure of hosting U.S. Representative Lynn Westmoreland (GA-8th district) at our yarn mill in Senoia, GA on Friday, August 4th. The afternoon program consisted of a comprehensive presentation of the flame resistant fabrics that we make and the protective clothing that is manufactured from them. We discussed the importance of our industrial and military market segments and put special emphasis on the Emergency Response sector. We asked the congressman for his full support in funding the SAFER and FIRE Act programs and urged him to become a member of the Congressional Fire Services caucus.
Congressman Westmoreland took a few minutes to tell us about his work in Washington including his views on Homeland Security issues like border control, illegal immigration, and the war on terrorism.
The meeting concluded with a full tour of our yarn manufacturing facility which houses our completely vertical operation that converts bales of Nomex®, Kevlar®, Pbi, Pbo and other flame resistant fibers into spun yarns which are then transferred to our weaving in Zebulon, GA. All of Southern Mills’ manufacturing facilities are in Georgia’s 8th district, and we hope that the congressman will find time to visit our other plants later this Fall.
