UNIFI Manufacturing Inc. plans to close one of its facilities in Rockingham County.
In a letter to state commerce officials this week, UNIFI said it will permanently lay off 91 employees at its facility on Island Drive in Madison in April. Affected workers have been notified.
The synthetic and recycled yarn company plans to sell the building later this year as it consolidates its production in North and Central America.
There are a total of about 250 employees at that location, but the company is hoping some of the remaining workers will fill positions at other UNIFI facilities in the area, a spokesperson said.
UNIFI has a large regional presence. In addition to its workplaces in Rockingham County, it has headquarters in Greensboro and is also one of the largest employers in Yadkin County.
