UK: Jaeger To Close Kilmarnock Plant, 153 Jobs Axed
The Scottish textiles industry suffered another blow on Friday with the news that Jaeger is closing its textile plant in Kilmarnock with the loss of 153 jobs. Jaeger's Kilmarnock workforce was halved two years ago and last year the firm cut 160 jobs by closing its factory in Campbeltown. Three cutting room workers were laid off in Kilmarnock three weeks ago.
