JPS Industries, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries JPS Elastomerics Corp and Converter and Industrial Corp and its Stevens Roofing Systems, Stevens Urethane and JPS Glass business units are not involved in any way with WestPoint Stevens or the bankruptcy filing. It has come to the company's attention that certain competitors of JPS Industries have attempted to confuse the issue for their own advantage. Any such occurrences should be reported to a company contact so appropriate legal action can be taken.
