Cirrus Design will reduce production through the end of the year and furlough about 500 employees for about 30 days, the company said.
Employees will be furloughed at its headquarters in Duluth, Minn. and a facility in Grand Forks, N.D. Workers will begin returning to work on January 5 when production on Cirrus’ 2009 models begins, said spokesman William King.
Order cancellations have not been higher than usual, King, said although orders have slowed .
