Ply Gem to Cut 160 Jobs
By Erik Even | Dated: 04-02-2009
Residential building product manufacturer Ply Gem will cut over 160 jobs.Ply Gem, based in Cary, North Carolina, said it will cut 140 jobs at its vinyl siding manufacturing facility in Kearny, Missouri.
The company also will close a Tupelo, Mississippi window and door manufacturing plant, which employs 23.
Ply Gem will consolidate production of window lineals at a facility in Rocky Mount, Virginia, and shift work at its West Coast window facilities in Sacramento, California, and Auburn, Washington.
In November 2008, the company said it would close plants in New Jersey and Arizona, putting about 300 people out of work.
Ply Gem moved its headquarters to Cary from Missouri earlier this year after receiving $100,000 from the state’s One North Carolina economic development fund. Ply Gem must create at least 100 new jobs over the next four years.
