True Textiles Inc., formerly known as Interface Fabrics Inc. and Guilford of Maine, recently eliminated 25 jobs at its Guilford plants, reported the Bangor Daily News.
A drop in business was blamed. True Textiles is a producer of panel fabric, including Terratex, a fabric made from 100% recycled plastic soda bottles and corn. The company also is a worldwide supplier of fabrics for seating and wall coverings for offices.
Among its three Maine factories, True Textiles employs 520 people. A spokesman for the company told the paper that some employees were given severance packages. A local rapid-response team is expected to be on site Wednesday to help the affected workers, he said.
