Shaw to Shutter Its Stuart, VA Solid Hardwood Facility

Stuart, VA, November 1, 2017-Shaw Industries will shutter its Stuart, Virginia solid hardwood manufacturing facility by the end of the year, reports WDBJ7.

Shaw stated, “Shaw continually evaluates the best way to meet customer needs and adapts our operations accordingly. As demand for flooring products shifts, Shaw is adjusting its solid hardwood production capacity. This realignment will result in the closure of the company’s solid hardwood manufacturing facility in Stuart, Virginia facility, known as Plant HT. Production at this facility will continue through December 2017 or early January 2018. The company will continue to operate its three other solid hardwood manufacturing facilities and remains committed to bringing fresh styling and design to customers with multiple product introductions planned for 2018.”

The facility employs more than 150 people and is expected to close by the end of 2017; Shaw will offer these employees the opportunity to transfer to another Shaw location.
