Nordic Tugs to close plant, furlough workers
BURLINGTON, Wash. — Nordic Tugs will temporarily close its Burlington manufacturing plant starting today, according to a company release.
“This step has been forced by the ongoing effects of the Great Recession, and the reluctance of customers to order new boats,” the company said in the release.
Most employees will be furloughed, leaving a skeleton staff to field customer inquiries and maintain the plant in “readiness to resume production when business dictates.”
Nordic Tugs manufactures handcrafted tug style yachts from 26 to 54 feet.
