Beaulieu Closing Alabama Yarn Plant

Dalton, GA, Nov, 14, 2011 -- Beaulieu said that within the next two months it will close down its Eufaula, Alabama spun yarn processing facility that it has operated since 1998.

The firm said it needed to streamline operations and off-set higher raw materials and transportation costs. Beaulieu had announced a downsizing in August.

“Due to reduced sales brought on by the economy plus higher materials costs, we made the decision to consolidate the Eufaula yarn processing capacity to our other facilities that are closer to our carpet mills in Dalton, Georgia,” said CEO Ralph Boe.
