After shelving production for six months and furloughing more than 300 employees, Viracon is set to resume operations of its newly refurbished Statesboro manufacturing facility. The Minnesota-based company, America’s leading single-source architectural glass fabricator, announced Monday that the local plant will reopen next week, having completed a $6 million upgrade to the facility’s equipment and infrastructure. Employees will return to work, and production will resume Monday.
