GUILFORD, Maine (AP) True Textiles Inc., which makes panel fabrics for offices at two plants in Guilford and one in Newport, has been hit with more layoffs in recent days.
Kurt Crisman, vice president for human services, would not provide an exact number, but said employment at the three plants has dropped over the past several months from about 650 to between 450 and 500.
Crisman said about 90 workers were laid off in January and operating hours were subsequently reduced from three shifts to two to help put production in balance with sales.
He said True Textile, formerly known as InterfaceFABRIC Inc. and Guilford of Maine, has no plans to close the Maine operations.
