Haworth Seating Becomes Calhoun County's Leading Employer
Into the second year of their expansion, Haworth's Bruce Seating Plant has grown to over 400 permanent and temporary members and has become Calhoun County’s leading employer. The plant is one of the company's top performing plants in terms of safety, efficiency and effectiveness.
Haworth recruits hourly members from within a 30 to 40 mile radius, for its two shift operation. Haworth says that the high quality/dedicated workers in Mississippi are one of the key factors that contribute to its success in producing high quality office chairs sold to customers worldwide.
