By Home Furnishings Business in on September 2008 After closing in mid-2007, Thomasville Furniture’s Plant C in Davidson County, N.C., is back up and running, according to a report Thursday in the Lexington (N.C.) Dispatch.

Around 50 people, many who previously worked for Thomasville, are making chairs to complement work at the company’s plant in Lenoir, John Hastings, vice president of communications for Furniture Brands International, said in the report. Thomasville hired back around 100 workers in Lenoir when that plant increased production in July.

Thomasville cited increased costs for outsourcing some jobs in China, along with the cost of shipping goods from Asia, for the new domestic production.
