Johns-Manville's employee magazine, the J-M News Pictorial, reported in October 1959 that on September 25 the company "put into production Mexico's first plant for the specialized manufacture of industrial packings," located just outside Mexico City, to make "a wide variety of asbestos, ramie and jute packings."1 The magazine called it "a comparatively small operation employing only 15 people," and said the plant was expected to expand.1
