produced in Jesup. "We were fortunate to find a senior manager with
a such a strong background in pulp and paper to take us through the
commissioning, training and product development stages of our Jesup
facility," stated Doug Ellis, President of Absorption Corp. "John
has done a great job of navigating us through this phase of our
growth and is leaving a solid foundation from which we can continue
to grow." The Jesup facility's production manger, Scott Ballard,
will assume the position of General Manager effective immediately.
"Scott has been with us since early last fall and has a solid
background in process and plant management," added Mr. Ellis. "Over
the past few months Scott has proven his commitment and abilities
to continue the superior work John has fostered in Jesup." Mr.
Swingle will remain with the Company for the next few months,
sharing duties with Scott and in a supporting and back up function
for the facility. International Absorbents Inc. develops,
