Furniture manufacturer Flanders Industries is closing the Arkansas factory it’s operated since 1970. About 40 jobs will be lost.
The company will consolidate its furniture manufacturing and distribution at a plant in Menominee, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Flanders makes metal furniture at its Fort Smith, Arkansas plant. The company will start phasing out those jobs in August.
C-E-O Dudley Flanders says the company will help affected employees with résumés and references and help them find new jobs. www.woodtv.com
