“We have excellent yarn operations and these employees are some of the best in the industry,” Evans said. “We are thankful that the significant majority of these employees will have the opportunity to transition to Parkdale and continue producing yarn for our products. Unfortunately, due to the recession and other factors, the industry does not need all of our yarn production capacity. We regret the loss of jobs for our Sanford and warehouse employees.”
Employees affected by the facility closings will receive severance and transition assistance in accordance with the company's severance policy.
