CUSTOMER & i nr.ATIdm GAF Corporation Route 94 INDUSTRY Vails Gate, NY 12584 CLASSIFICATION frl.f2r Hie Gordon L. Dickson RFninN Eastern DATE OF CALL12/1/80 ASBESTOS HEALTH & REGULATORY DOCUMENTS PROVIDED: MSOS Health & OSHA Information Blue Book Dust Count Report Other, specify below PERSONS INTERVIEWED: CALL OBJECTIVE: Howard Key - Buyer Joe Kardel - Technical Superintendent Robert L. dePree - Plant Manager Account maintenance RESULTS OF CALL: Only spoke to Howard and Bob over the phone as both were too busy to talk in person. About the only information received was that they were not having any problems with our tile grade fiber and that their shipments were arriving in good condition. Joe reported that he has always liked our product, that it is whiter even than Atlas, and that he can use somewhat less. However, he feels that he can only go so far in reformulating as their production people get upset. The only big drawback with "Calidria" is the outrageous price. As can be imagined, the announcement that it was going up about 9%, as compared with 5% for Canadian, did not further our case here. FOLLOW-UP ACTION REQUIRED: Maintain contact on a basis which will be leased on how their corporate purchasing group reacts to our formal price schedules for 1981.
