Keasbey & Mattison / American Asbestos Textile Corporation plant at Meredith, New Hampshire

The plant at Meredith, New Hampshire, began as the Meredith Knitting Mills: a February 1971 history in Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, says a Keasbey & Mattison man "recognized the attractive possibilities of this plant for the manufacture of asbestos textiles."1 Keasbey & Mattison (K&M) bought it, closed its textile operations at Ambler and "concentrated all textile manufacture in the Meredith plant, where operations were started in 1951."1 In the same article R. M. Bateman, chairman of Turner & Newall, said that in 1962 Turner & Newall decided "to sell this operation as a going concern to an American asbestos textile company," named in the item as American Asbestos Textile Corporation.1 In September 1967 an American Asbestos Textile advertisement in Asbestos listed Meredith, N.H., among the plants where "Our complete line of asbestos textiles" was produced, and a news item in the same issue said new production "will complement the production of the plants in Norristown, Pennsylvania, and Meredith, New Hampshire."2
