Stanley Furniture Company announced plans to
reduce the workforce at its Robbinsville, N.C., facility.
The Robbinsville plant currently employs approximately 450
people. This action will result in a reduction of about 200
associates, including both management and hourly employees.
"The industry wide slowdown that has led to lower sales requires
us to balance production and staffing levels throughout our four
facilities," says Jeffrey R. Scheffer, Stanley Furniture
chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We sincerely
regret the impact on some of our Robbinsville associates.
However, this difficult decision is necessary to better align
our staffing levels and work schedules with current business
conditions."
