Hanesbrands Inc. has announced that it will close its China Grove yarn facility by the end of December due to declining needs for higher-end ring-spun yarn produced at the facility. The closure will affect 185 employees.
The 502,000-square-foot plant, 308 E. Thom St. in China Grove, makes ring-spun yarn used to make certain socks, underwear and T-shirts.
