United Furniture's collapse, amid soaring inflation and consumer pull-backs, brings back unpleasant manufacturing memories for Triad - Winston-Salem Journal

In this photo from 2015, employee Miguel Martinez builds frames for recliners at United Furniture Inc. in Winston-Salem. United ended manufacturing earlier this year at its 850,000-square-foot plant at 401 W. Hanes Mill Road in Winston-Salem, formerly known as Hanesbrands Inc.’s Weeks plant. That facility was converted to a distribution center, but the company, based in Okolona, Miss., has now decided to terminate all employees — 2,700 people, including at least 530 at five facilities in the Triad.
