- Members of an extremely private, invitation-only New York
- investors group called AEA thought it was a hoot when they
- persuaded former General Motors chairman ROGER SMITH last year
- to take over as CEO of one of their investments, a tidy little
- group of rubber-and-plastics manufacturers with operations in
- Ohio, Virginia and Georgia. Before long, though, the company was
- declining fast. Since nobody can bear to fire Smith, investment
- bankers say the owners are now quietly trying to peddle the firm
- for far less than they paid for it.
