Another addition to the growing list of Celotex plants, Celotex Limited, is nearing completion and will begin operations in March. The logical outgrowth of a large and steadily increasing business in the British Isles and colonies, this plant is being built at a cost of approximately $1,250,000.
Located in Stonebridge Park section of London, at the crossing of the Grand Junction Canal and North Circular Road, the plant is also adjacent to the London, Midland, and Scottish railroad. These facilities provide excellent transportation by water to all parts of the world, and by rail, truck, and water to all portions of the British Isles.
The plant properties provide a large storage area for raw materials, which are unloaded from barges and placed in storage piles in a single operation with a longarm walking crane. The cane fiber will enter the plant at one end, progress through the washing, mixing, Ferox processing, and board forming machines to the drying ovens, and finally to the fabricating and warehouse spaces. Celotex hardboard products follow an equally simple, progressive, manufacturing process, finishing at the warehouse space.
A modern, efficient power plant will provide for the requirements of the mill. The drying ovens will be heated with hot air from a coal fired furnace in the power plant building. Coal will be landed from barges at a point on the bank opposite the power house. At the end of the property nearest the high speed highway is located the administration building.
Bror G. Dahlberg is chairman of the board for the new company, and G. S. Waddington, for some years in charge of the London office of The Celotex Company of Great Britain, Ltd., is managing director.
