The plant is the largest single employer in Pike County, 10TV News reported.
The company, based in Ann Arbor, Mich., said that it is phasing out the manufacture of its ready-to-assemble products.
The company manufactures KraftMaid, Merillat, and QualityCabinets brands and DeNova brand countertops.
The Waverly plant opened in 1987 and was purchased by Masco in 1999.
Masco has not identified a closing date but expects the facility to close in early 2011, according to a company news release.
Pike County has the sixth highest unemployment rate in the state, 10TV News reported.

After years of layoffs, in 2009, Masco closed the Merillat plan in Rapid City, SD.
ReplyDeleteThe Harvard Business Plan...First give yourself a Golden Parachute, establish Chinese/Indian Divisions and import Cheaper/Crap versions of the original product, shut down American divisions, lose market share due to new poorer quality imported product, bankrupt company and in the process give yourself millions in bonus! Move onto the next company and destroy it next…Damn its good to be a GANGSTER!

Greek 2 year bonds just hit 18%.
ReplyDeleteGame over for Greece.
Expect complete collapse of Greece over next two weeks.
Whatever happens to Greece will happen here in a few.
another 400points off the dow... and gold to new highs within 2 week... Then i will begin to believe all the crap on here. till then this could just be a company that just doesnt have a competitive product and naturally its goin under. Anther reason for the people to be wiser about picking their employer.
ReplyDeleteBest off starting ur own business. SBA can get u loans if u have a good idea. if u dont have a good idea or ur not smart enough to do the research to start ur business and u would rather work for someone else, then understand ur litterly at the whims of others like mother breast milk. truth is we are no more dependant from grocery stores and resturaunts than we are our mothers breastmilk.
11:40,
ReplyDelete???
11:40 Wrong Wrong Wrong
ReplyDeletePlease read post by 9:55 which is dead nuts
I have been dealing with the American cabinet Industry for over 30 years & what 9:55 said I cannot add to.
Sad - very, very sad
He sounds like someone from Holland or one of those Dutch or Norse countries. They think they have the best school systems and all they are is nationalistic idiots who have no sense of reality unless it says "civilization began with the Vikings".
ReplyDeleteMany people from a Greek country (Serbia, Greece, Romania, Bosnia) think that civilization began with the Greeks, literally that they founded the human race. When you ask for them to explain they can't seem to come up with an explanation. Then they make insults over the net about Americans and how dumb we are. Yeah I think all countries make dumb people (all countries are shit because government is fucking shit), the dumbest ones are those who think a country makes them a different species. Faith breeds violence. Most people believe in themselves, yet their 'self' does not exist at all in reality even though their insignificant brains like to insist they do (and all their other delusions about the cosmos whether it's founded on religious dogma or scientific methodology) which means we each live life based on faith... all actions never even happened. We are just little ghosts...
Fuck it whatever, but if 11:40 is from the USA then he's just really bad at English.
This was the original Mills Pride Plant
ReplyDeleteTrue As 5:04 states
Very, very sad indeed
I want to piss on the Dome of the Rock.
ReplyDeleteWhat do expect in a jobless recovery? JOBS?
ReplyDeleteNow go back to watching your TV, and learn how great the recovery is going.
The American cabinet maker has been going the way of the dinosaur for over two decades. I'm the last white cabinetmaker in the USA. I can no longer compete with foreigners who are willing to live in a trailer with 18 of his room mates and will slap shitty cabinets together for less than minimum wage.
ReplyDeleteTwo thumbs up for Arizona. Squash them as they hop the fence. They are like Cockroaches
