NI textile industry hit with further jobs blow
Northern Ireland’s beleaguered textile industry has taken another blow with the news that 150 jobs are to go at Co Tyrone firm Adria.
News of the cuts were leaked to the media last week, however management at the company finally confirmed the news on Monday.
In a statement the firm blamed difficult global trading conditions and a dramatic reduction in turnover for the cuts.
"Adria feels this outcome is necessary to ensure the company can continue to face the future demands of the market place," a statement said on Monday.
"The company is working towards a sustainable future in Strabane where Adria will be a centre of excellence for its hosiery business worldwide.
"The company, in conjunction with various support agencies, will also play its part in supporting those people who will be affected by today's announcement in searching for alternative employment."
Management at the company has begun a 90-day consultation period with the unions in an effort to agree redundancy details and timescales for those employees affected.
