Jobs Go At Lisburn Factory
A thread factory in County Antrim is to close with the loss of 85 jobs.
Coats Barbour thread factory at Hilden, just outside Lisburn, has been in operation for over 170 years.
The parent company, Coats UK, said it regretted the decision but that a declining local market and the need to cut costs meant it had to restructure.
In its early years the factory employed 1,500 workers.
The plant currently supplies specialist thread to automotive, upholstery and bed manufacturers, which will now be produced in Coats factories in Hungary and Turkey.
