(ATC) a manufacturer of mattress and pillow protectors, bed pillows and mattress pads has increased its product offerings and expanded its workforce. The company has projected a 30-percent increase in total gross sales for 2008 over 2007, noting that its pillow business alone has nearly doubled just in the past year. The significant growth we are experiencing at American Textile Company is being driven by our ability to anticipate market needs and provide value-based solution offerings to our customers and consumers, said Jennifer Katz, vice president of marketing communications, ATC. This past year we challenged ourselves to not only identify needs through a deep understanding of the marketplace, but to answer those needs with innovative solutions rooted in science. ATC has expanded its flagship Aller-Ease product line, designed for allergy and asthma sufferers; added 315 jobs across all three of its operating facilities in Duquesne, Dallas and Salt Lake City, the latter of which has grown by more than 50 percent; and has promoted several employees in its operations, sales and marketing, and finance departments. Katz stated the company anticipates nearly 20 percent additional growth in 2009. October 21, 2008
'We hope these [task force] recommendations will help women and their physicians understand what they need to do to start and continue breast-feeding their babies. Simply telling mothers they should breast-feed or giving them pamphlets is not enough,' Calonge said.
Breast-feeding offers major health benefits to both infants and mothers, according to background information in the news release. Breast-fed babies have fewer infections and allergic skin reactions than formula-fed babies and are also less likely to fall victim to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). In the long-term, children who were breast-fed are less likely to develop asthma, diabetes, obesity and childhood leukemia.
Women who breast-fed were less likely than those who never breast-fed to develop type 2 diabetes, breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
