* Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3 to the
statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 15, 1989, by Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr.,
and Bruce C. Gottwald with respect to shares of Common Stock (the "Common
Stock") of Tredegar Industries, Inc. (the "Issuer"). The purpose for the filing
of this Amendment No. 4 is to add John D. Gottwald as a signatory and report an
increase in the percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by Floyd D.
Gottwald, Jr., Bruce C. Gottwald and John D. Gottwald and their immediate
families due primarily to (i) purchases of the Common Stock by the Issuer on the
open market and in privately negotiated transactions; and (ii) two self-tenders
by the Issuer.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This statement relates to the Common Stock of the Issuer, a Virginia
corporation having its principal executive offices at 1100 Boulders Parkway,
Richmond, Virginia 23225.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Since the filing of Amendment No. 3, Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr., Bruce C.
Gottwald and John D. Gottwald have not purchased additional shares of Common
Stock except automatic purchases pursuant to the Issuer's dividend reinvestment
plan and Issuer benefit plans.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 4,095,477 shares.(1)
Percentage of Class Owned: 32.90%
(b) Number of shares as to which such person has:
(i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote - 2,620,236(2)
(ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote- 1,475,241(3)
(iii) sole power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of
- 2,620,236(2)
(iv) shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition
of - 1,475,241(3)
(1) The filing of this statement shall not be construed as
an admission that for the purposes of Sections 13(d) or
13(g) of the
-5-
<PAGE>
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr.,
Bruce C. Gottwald or John D. Gottwald are the beneficial
owners of: (A) 46,665 shares described in Items 5(b)(i)
and (iii); or (B) the shares described in Items 5(b)(ii)
and (iv).
(2) This amount includes 46,665 shares owned by a charitable
foundation, for which Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr., and Bruce
C. Gottwald serve as the sole directors, to which Floyd
D. Gottwald, Jr., and Bruce C. Gottwald disclaim benefi-
cial ownership.
(3) This amount includes 1,172,353 shares owned by
individuals in the families of Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr.,
Bruce C. Gottwald and John D. Gottwald who do not
reside in the reporting persons' homes. It does not
include shares owned of record by Wachovia Bank of North
Carolina, N.A., as Trustee under the savings plan for
the employees of the Issuer (the "Plan"), that are held
for the benefit of employees other than the Gottwalds.
Shares held by the Trustee under the Plan for the
benefit of the Gottwalds are included in Items (5)(b)(i)
and (iii) above. Shares held under the Plan are voted by
the Trustee in accordance with instructions solicited
from employees participating in the Plan. If a partici-
pating employee does not give the Trustee voting in-
structions, his shares are voted by the Trustee in
accordance with management's recommendations to the
stockholders. Because members of the Gttwald family are
executive officers, directors and the largest stock-
holders of the Issuer, they may be deemed to be control
persons of the Issuer and to have the capacity to
control any such recommendation of management.
(c) There have been no transactions in the past sixty days other
than automatic Employee Savings Plan purchases by John D.
Gottwald.
(d) Other persons have the right to receive or the power to direct
the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale
of, all 1,475,241 shares described in Items 5(b)(ii) and (iv).
However, none of such persons' individual interest relates to
more than 5 percent of the class of securities for which this
Form is filed.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
Securities of the Issuer.
Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr., and Bruce C. Gottwald are brothers. John D.
Gottwald is the son of Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr. This form is being filed on behalf
of Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr., Bruce C. Gottwald and John D. Gottwald because they
could be deemed to be a group for purposes of Rule 13d-1(c) and Schedule 13D
even though there is no agreement among them with respect to the purchase, sale
or retention of Common Stock.
There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships
(legal or otherwise) between Floyd D. Gottwald, Jr., Bruce C. Gottwald and John
D. Gottwald and any other person with respect to securities of the Issuer.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
