SUMMARY: Bauhaus Furniture in Saltillo recently faced the closure of its plant, putting 75 local jobs at risk. However, the situation took a positive turn when the company announced it had found a buyer. The closure was initially prompted by a soft business market and uncertainties surrounding tariff wars. Local workers had been notified of potential layoffs, but the buyer’s intervention saved their jobs, offering hope to the small town’s economy. The announcement was made on March 8, and, for now, the plant remains operational, allowing employees to keep their jobs and support their families.
