Nordic Tugs to temporarily close Washington plant
Posted on 27 August 2010
Nordic Tugs announced that it will temporarily close its Burlington, Wash., manufacturing plant on Tuesday.
Most employees will be furloughed, according to a company statement, but a skeleton staff will remain to field customer inquiries and maintain the plant to keep it prepared to resume production when business improves.
The action "has been forced by the ongoing effects of the Great Recession and the reluctance of customers to order new boats," according to the manufacturer.
Nordic Tugs was founded in 1979 and builds tug-style yachts ranging from 26 to 54 feet that are sold through dealers in Europe and Asia, and across the United States.

OK so Bush wasnt the greatest, but he wasnt the worst. The worst was Jimmy Carter, now replaced by this socialist incompetent idiot Obama. If the Democrats have their way there will never be anymore wealth or rich people. Corny to say, but I too, have never been given a job by a poor guy. Cut taxes, reduce spending, cancel the health care bill, close the borders and shoot anyone trying to get across, deport illegals, heavily fine anyone hiring an illegal, vote in term limits. These democrats are spending other peoples hard earned money, detroying our wealth and liveliehoods. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid should be lined up a against a tree just like Niclolae Ceausescu the Romanian dictator a few years back. Time to take our country back and by force if necessary.
Easy. Fire the goverment workers. Start with FDA, HUD, EPA, ATF, Dept of the Interior, Dept of Energy, Dept of Anything, all Lt. Govenors ect. Answer your own phone, manage your own depts and if it's not able to support itself end of story. I have to deal in the real world by products of these hacks. Things went down hill right after the Federalist. That's where the govenment spending started. The rest is history. All we have is the future and the future is now.

Florida history lesson time:
After the Indians, after Spain- there were originally 16 Colonies in N. America. The 14th was Canada. The 15th and 16th were East Florida and West Florida. These 3 remained loyal to England through the Revolutionary War. The Indians would swap loyalty to whom ever offered them the best terms at the time so they switched back and forth between Spain, England and America before Andrew Jackson finally moved them out of Florida to Oklahoma in the very early 1800s.
So if one is a "Florida Patriot" -I can only assume your a British patriot? Centuries later I ask the question- WHICH one was the true "winner"? If ALL remained loyal to the Crown as did Canada, New Zealand, and Australia America would not be in it's situation would we?
Americans seem to want to blame the President for all woes, but he's NOT a King who can make individual decisions is he? You want democracy =you got democracy and unfortunately -the numbers of "have nots" have now out populated the "haves". What are you going to do now? Time for a King who CAN make decisions? Good luck that.
If you "keyboard commando's" only use fake names how can anybody take what you say seriously? IF you're a true patriot then by all means shout out your real names with pride along with a way to contact you so one can start building your angry army. Then what?
Tragically another example of American manufacturing having to close their doors during these hard times. We may all think that there will be a turn around in the political situation in Washington this fall, but unless and until we have some real leadership by the opposition, there will be no significant change. We need for a leader to emerge in the Republican Party who can and will become our spokesman for change yet again.
We got change two years ago because of one man! The opposition needs that kind of spokesman to get us turned around in the right direction. Reagan did it - Gingrich did it and now we HAVE to find their successor!
Yet another plant closing in our industry? I thought Biden said this was the "Summer of Recovery" for our economy. If you are an American regardless of oyur politics and worried about the future of our industry and the future of our economy maybe it is time you got off the couch and "Put your Boots on". Get involved and lets fix this thing before we are all out of business.
"and the reluctance of customers to order new boats," according to the manufacturer." Americans continue to vote "no confidence" with their checkbooks. As long as our government continues to spend more money than it has in hand, "no confidence" will continue, and American factories will continue to be temporarily and then permanently shuttered. The Obama administration reinforces "no confidence" by continuing this risky spending. And also by communicating all that is wrong with America. I believe America is the shining city on the hill, and Americans are the most generous people on planet earth. We need a Reaganite, not an Obamanation, as our leader.
The days of easy loans and quick sales are over... Its time to buckel down and put some good old Americam backbone into it. Nordic Tugs will survive... they are a company that builds a solid vessel with a good reputation. Built in the U.S.A.
Nordic Tugs is still alive...avalible to service the new stock on the market. Others who own the boats can still count on the company for help.. Another Nordic Tug will be built in the near future, Im sure of that.
Move forward in a safe and positive manner.
I'm not only worried about the future of our industry, but for the United States of America! If we allow these terrorists some call politicians to continue in office this country is finished.
Let's hope we can survive until they are thrown out and the real Americans take the Country back.
"The Boots Are On"
Yet another plant closing in our industry? I thought Biden said this was the "Summer of Recovery" for our economy. If you are a conservative and worried about the future of our industry and the future of our economy maybe it is time you got off the couch and "Put your Boots on". Get involved and lets fix this thing before we are all out of business.
