Prime Tanning to close Rochester and Berwick facilities
03/09/2001
Less than seven years on from opening its showpiece leather finishing plant in Rochester, New Hampshire, Prime Tanning – arguably the world’s largest tanner - has announced that the facility is to close.
In making the announcement last week, the president of Prime Tanning, Ken Purdy, also said the company will cease production at its nearby Berwick plant in Maine and convert the unit into a product development centre. A total of 550 job losses will result from both closures.
