HOECHST CELANESE REPORTS INJURY-FREE MILESTONE

Hoechst Celanese Corp.'s plant in Portsmouth recorded a 20 percent productivity increase as well as 2 million employee hours without a lost-time injury, manager Ron Meeks said. That's like four years without an injury for the plant's 200 workers. The plant turns out absorbent materials for use in disposable diapers and hygiene products. (Staff) by CNB
