Cumberland: The president of the Allegany County Board of Commissioners, David Caporale, announced on Thursday that the Hunter Douglas facility located in the North Branch Industrial Park had been sold.
Termination Of Allegany County Factory
The largest fabric plant for Hunter Douglas, a firm that makes window coverings and blinds, closed its Cumberland location in March. At one point, the facility employed over 800 locals. According to a business representative in March 2023, the decision to terminate the Allegany County factory was motivated by the necessity to combine operations and product demand.
At that time, the corporation employed 361 people at the Cumberland site. A website for commercial real estate claims that the industrial property consists of a building that is around 350,000 square feet and sits on 35 acres.
All About The Factory
Reportedly built in 2001 and refurbished in 2006, the one-story building has five grade-level drive-in sections and twenty dock-high loading doors. The website did not specify the asking price for the facility, but it did offer a fitness center and security system as amenities in the building.
Over the past few months, Caporale has collaborated extensively with the team at the company to make sure that this transition is profitable and advantageous to both sides. Caporale stated that the sale’s specifics will be made public on Friday.
