Councill Company to hire 25 furniture workers
Despite the recent news of furniture company layoffs and plant closings throughout Davidson County, one furniture manufacturer announced Tuesday it plans to hire 25 new employees.
Councill, a Denton-based furniture manufacturer, plans to add the new positions to their plants at 267 Councill Access Rd. and 236 N. Jones St.
"Our goal has been to re-engineer our plant processes to keep Councill competitive, reduce our costs and ultimately, remain in Denton," said Carlton Mallory, president of Councill Company. "We are committed to Councill remaining a domestic maker of fine casegoods and upholstery."
In 2003, Councill Craftsman filed for bankruptcy and laid off workers from its three Denton plants. Investors purchased the company and its plants and equipment the same year. In December 2003, the company started under a new name - Councill Company.
The company currently has 170 employees and is looking to add 25 production and manufacturing workers to two of its plants. The new jobs would pay between $8.50 and $15.75 an hour.
