Leggett and Platt [better known to me as the Cotton Mill] will cease operations Friday in Mexia
The management of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, has announced its intention to shut down all manufacturing operations at its Mexia facility, located at 1100 South McKinney and will consolidate the production into other similar Leggett facilities. The consolidation will result in a total plant closing of the Mexia facility. The consolidation is the result of excess production capacity in Leggett’s fiber cushion operations. It is in no way related to the abilities or productivity of the employees at the local facility. The closing will affect approximately 50 production, administrative and management employees. The anticipated last day of operation is scheduled to take place this Friday, although some employees may be released after that date based on business needs. Eligible employees who are released by the Company prior to August 27 will continue to receive pay and benefits through August 27 in accordance with federal regulations.
