On March 18, 2015, the Company committed to move forward with a plan to cease operations at its Raritan, New Jersey, plant and consolidate operations into its Newburyport, Massachusetts, facility and other UFP facilities. The Company’s decision was in response to a continued decline in business at the Raritan facility and the purchase of the facility in Newburyport. The activities related to this consolidation are complete. The Company also relocated all operations in its Haverhill, Massachusetts, and Byfield, Massachusetts facilities and certain operations in its Georgetown, Massachusetts facility to Newburyport.
