Similar conditions made it necessary for Performance Fibers to idle its polyester fiber production at Scottsboro in 2006, while maintaining a scaled-back fabric dipping operation.
Performance Fibers has been taking steps to improve its competitiveness in the North American region, where the competitive environment is particularly challenging with the entrance of low-cost suppliers from Asia and other parts of the world.
Performance Fibers has given a 60-day notice to affected Winfield employees, appropriate officials, and government agencies under the U.S. Department of Labor's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, which will make training and other assistance available to them.
The company also has requested government assistance for Scottsboro employees not covered by WARN due to the size of the workforce. In addition, Performance Fibers will honor the contract requirements of unionized employees covered by bargaining agreements at Scottsboro and provide applicable benefits and assistance for Winfield employees.
