Invista Shuttering Virginia Nylon Production Line

Waynesboro, VA, Dec. 13, 2010 -- Invista is closing down its nylon line in Waynesboro, according to the News Virginian.

Public Affairs Manager Erica Taylor told the newspaper that deteriorating market conditions and reduced demand spurred the recent decision to permanently shutter the nylon line.

“The consumer carpet market has remained sluggish,” Taylor told the newspaper.

“The Waynesboro site has adapted and responded to market trends over the years by developing new products. The site will strive to continue adapting and evolving as we continue to focus on being a value-added, competitive Invista apparel site.”
