Beaulieu Announces Closure of Riverbend Facility
“The production of Riverbend will be absorbed by our other carpet facilities,” said Ralph Boe, president and CEO, in a company-wide announcement today. “The majority of jobs will be transferred with the production and we will work with the associates affected by this decision to offer them opportunities elsewhere at Beaulieu.”
This move comes on the heels of the company’s positive announcement of securing $230,000,000 in loan refinancing. “We are disappointed with having to make this decision,” observed Mr. Boe, “but it is necessary for Beaulieu to remain strong and operationally efficient. While regrettable, closing Riverbend will allow us to adjust our capacity to reduced sales levels.”
