USA: Delta Woodside Axes Yarn Plant, 112 Jobs
Textile giant Delta Woodside Industries Inc on Wednesday announced plans to close a yarn factory in North Carolina with the loss of more than 100 jobs. The South Carolina-based company said it will shut its Catawba plant in Maiden as part of a cost-cutting programme but emphasised the plant closing and 112 job losses will not affect the firm's weaving and finishing capacity.
