Crawford shuts plant
Thomas Russell -- Furniture Today, January 16, 2012
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. - Case goods manufacturer Crawford Furniture has shut down its plant here, according to a report in local newspaper The Post-Journal.
The report said the closure took place Dec. 31 and resulted in the layoff of 84 workers.
According to its website, the 128-year-old company, which had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August, produced solid wood furniture of black cherry, maple, ash and oak at the plant.
Crawford also had five retail locations in the Jamestown area, but announced in October that it was closing those stores to focus on the manufacturing side of its business. At the time of the store closings, the company said it continued to sell to about 200 furniture retailers in the U.S.
Attempts to contact Crawford Furniture officials were unsuccessful and a voice mailbox at the company's Jamestown headquarters was full.
According to its Chapter 11 filing, Crawford had estimated assets from $10 million to $50 million and liabilities ranging from $1 million to $10 million. The filing also listed 98 creditors ranging from suppliers of carved components and wood turnings to finishing, packaging and trucking companies.
