Enfield's WAY too big to shut down the whole works on something like this.
All of their Americas marketing is done out of there, distribution, etc.
There's a HUGE shows & events department there - probably 30,000+ sq ft of
workspace and warehouse - commonly known as the 'model shop.' That and the
distribution center are all I've really seen, the former a few months ago
and the latter a few years ago. No doubt there are more office buildings in
the area - the campus is quite large as its been described to me. I believe
this is just the factory that is being referred to. And I hope that its
temporary...and will return when their profits do.
