The 250,000 square foot facility will move to North Carolina, where an additional 325 employees will be laid off in an effort to improve the company's "vertical integration operations," a press release says.

"These decisions are not easy, said Ethan Allen Chairman, President and CEO Farooq Kathwari.

"I have had a personal close association with many of these associates for about 40 years. They leave a legacy of fine artisanry, safety, and manufacturing leadership."
