Tallassee Mills closes after 161 years amid imported competition
Tallassee Mills in Alabama, described as the nation’s oldest cloth factory by its South Carolina parent Mount Vernon Mills, will close after 161 years. The plant, once a pillar of a mill village economy, employed hundreds, but nonunion labor and low-cost imports from China and elsewhere finally overwhelmed the nonunion operation. The city, also home to GKN Aerospace and Neptune Technology Group, faces an economic and social blow as more than 300 workers lose their jobs in a town of about 4,900 people.
