O'Sullivan plant may get new life in Lamarby The Associated Press
LAMAR, Mo. -- A door manufacturer has received permission to buy the former O'Sullivan Industries plant here. Under an agreement announced Wednesday, the building will be leased to Polymer-Wood Technologies of Dallas, which makes residential and commercial fire-rated doors at a lower cost using new technologies.
The Joplin Globe reports production at the plant could begin next fall. Company officials say, until then, they will spend more than $20 million on production equipment and another $3 million to rehabilitate the property. O'Sullivan closed the plant in 2007, putting more than 700 people out of work. Polymer-Wood officials say they will employ 100 workers at first, with a goal of employing between 400 and 500 workers.
