ORLEANS - Orleans-based Paoli LLC has announced it is closing its manufacturing plant. In a notice to the state, the office furniture company says closure will result in the layoffs of nearly 500 employees in the Orange County town.
The company says the layoffs of 467 workers are expected to be permanent. Employees will be terminated beginning in January with most of the layoffs taking place between March and October of 2017.
Paoli did not disclose a reason for the closure of the plant.
Because the Obama economy is booming.
Lots of beautiful hardwood furniture being imported,Thailand comes to mind, real wood and much of it handcrafted.
Philippines too, I believe.
Merry Christmas!
467 more deplorables to deal with, or 467 more Americans who refused to work for third-world wages.
But hey! On a high note, the price of office furniture will be going down due to lower production costs, right?
Right?
“Paoli did not disclose a reason for the closure of the plant. “
They don’t need to. Either they’ve switched their manufacturing to Mexico or China, or they’ve been driven out of business by competitors who’ve switched their manufacturing to Mexico or China.
Probably bringing in some nice bugs too.
Don’t worry, they make plenty of office furniture in China.
