Friday, April 24, 1998 Stamford plant to expand By SCOTT SCHOLTEN / Abilene Reporter-News Duckster, a Stamford manufacturer of nationally-marketed golf
outerwear, will soon be expanding and sharing its production facility
with an additional 60 workers. WSGM Holding Company, Duckster's parent company, announced
it recently acquired Pro-line, a Fort Worth-based company that
manufactures caps. The caps carry colleges' logos and are manufactured
under license from the colleges. Pro-line's Fort Worth plant lay fallow for the past two months
and threw nearly 80 people out of work when it closed. WSGM will
strip the facility of its machines and move some of them to Stamford
Friday, said Mike Godwin, of WSGM. Godwin said he didn't know
why the Pro-line production facility was shut down. WSGM Holding Company is a company held privately by four individuals;
it had roughly $10 million in revenues last year, according to
Godwin. Godwin declined to specify the company's profit margins. Pro-line and Duckster will both keep their administrative and
sales offices in Fort Worth. The fully-expanded production unit should be in full operation
this summer.
