Levingston Reorganized—

Barrios, Covington And

Wise To Head Three Units

Levingston Shipbuilding Com- pany officials have announced that a new corporate organization,

Levingston Industries, Inc., has been formed and will be head- quartered in Orange, Texas. The formation of three wholly owned subsidiaries of Levingston Indus- tries was also announced. They are: Levingston Shipbuilding

Company, headquartered in

Orange; Texas Gulfport Ship- building Company, headquartered in Port Arthur; and Levingston

Marine Corporation, headquar- tered in Annapolis, Md.

Joe Barrios was named presi- dent of Levingston Shipbuilding,

Don Covington president of Texas

Gulfport Shipbuilding, and Joe

Wise president of Levingston Ma- rine. Each has made a major con- tribution to Levingston's contin- ued successful growth.

Ed Paden, president and chief executive officer of the parent company, announced the change as part of an overall restructur- ing designed to keep the oper- ating units small enough so that the individual worker can retain his sense of identity and personal value in the company.

Mr. Covington has been vice president of the Marine Products

Gulfport Shipbuilding Company that he now heads consists of three entities including Texas

Texas.
