Flexsteel Industries has announced that it will permanently close its Dubuque manufacturing facility. The facility is located on Seippel Road and employs about 150 people. Last month, Flexsteel officials informed the City of Dubuque of about 100 layoffs in Dubuque, at least some of which were corporate employees. The decision comes just a few years after Flexsteel made a major commitment to the Dubuque area. In 2016, Flexsteel announced plans to close its longtime manufacturing facility on Jackson Street. The company toyed with the idea of moving manufacturing operations out of town. However, in 2017, it announced plans to invest $28 million in a new facility in Dubuque Industrial Center South. On Tuesday, Flexsteel reported a net loss of $5.3 million in the quarter that ended March 31. The company reported a loss of $5.4 million during the prior quarter. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on Flexsteel’s business.
