Ashland Clothing Factory to Close in August

On Tuesday, employees of Gitman Brothers in Ashland learned that they would be losing their jobs.

According to employees of the factory, they learned that the Ashland Clothing Factory, located in the 2200 Block of Centre Street, would be closing in August.

While a date was not specified when they will close, employees were offered the chance to work at another plant out of state.

Attempts for comment from the company were not returned.

Most recently, the plant had closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but partially opened to make medical gowns.

The company had returned to normal operations within the past two weeks.
