Citing a change in consumer demand from spun yarn carpeting to filament, Calhoun-based Mohawk Industries is announcing the closing of the spun yarn plant at 229 Industrial Drive in Cartersville, according to AM1450 WBHF. Staff reductions will begin this weekend and conclude in August. The company will review the work force and try to place workers at other nearby plants if possible. In April, Mohawk announced the closing of a spun yarn plant in Tifton. Some 373 jobs were lost there.
