Bad news out of Burlington


Written by | The Bellingham Herald | August 25, 2010

Here’s a press release from Nordic Tugs, which will be idling its Burlington Facility:

Burlington, Washington (August 25, 2010) –Nordic Tugs announced today it will temporarily close its Burlington manufacturing plant on Tuesday, August 31. 

This step has been forced by the ongoing effects of the Great Recession, and the reluctance of customers to order new boats.  While most employees will be furloughed, a skeleton staff will remain to field customer inquiries and maintain the plant in readiness to resume production when business dictates.
