KNITTING PLANT
Closure At Sumner U.E.B. Textiles, Ltd, part of the U.E.B. Industries, Ltd, group, would transfer its Christchurch knitting factory to Dunedin and Auckland, the group’s general manager in charge of marketing (Mr G. Dryden) said in Christchurch yesterday. “This will entail phasing out production over the next few months at our Clifton plant at Sumner," he said. When work ceases there—probably within three months —the Sumner building will be sold. “Where practicable, employees will be offered employment at U.E.B. plants in other centres,” he said. The move was part of the company’s previouslyannounced plan to rationalise its sector of the textile industry. The Clifton plant was a unit of Ross and Glendining, Ltd, which was taken over in 1966.
