Ashley Furniture Industries is closing its distribution facility in Statesville, NC, the company has told state officials.
The company told workers last month that it is consolidating the Statesville facility with its manufacturing plant in Advance.
“In connection with this strategy, we will be offering Statesville employees opportunities to continue working at Ashley in the Advance facility,” company officials said in a statement released to WFDD.
The closure will affect 111 employees, according to a letter sent to the North Carolina Department of Commerce under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
Ashley Furniture did not provide an exact number of how many positions are available in Advance, but said there would be “many opportunities” for Statesville workers.
The Statesville facility is scheduled to close November 15.
