Leggett & Platt’s Leitchfield plant will remain open as the company restructures its operation.
On January 11, Leggett & Platt’s Board of Directors approved a company restructuring plan that includes the elimination of 900-1,000 and the closing of multiple facilities.
“Leggett & Platt is implementing a restructuring plan primarily focused on our Bedding Products business but also includes activity within our Home Furniture business, and specifically at our Omega Motion facility in Saltillo, Mississippi,” Cassie Branscum, Vice President of Investor Relations, told K105.
Branscum noted that the “facility in Leitchfield will remain open.”
“This plan is intended to better align our business with an evolving competitive landscape and position our company for profitable growth,” Branscum added. “As part of these initiatives, we are consolidating our manufacturing footprint to better align capacity with regional demand and enhance our efficiency.”
The Leitchfield Leggett & Platt facility, as of September 2023, had 179 employees, according to the Grayson County Chamber of Commerce. The plant is located at 435 Ed Embry Drive.
