Pretty low key building, we used to visit an organic grocery store next door…
ASHEVILLE - The maker of world-renowned synthesizers has slashed jobs at its manufacturing facility in Asheville, the city where Moog Music was based.
The move to cut what sources say were possibly more than half the existing jobs, including most of the production positions, came three months after the international corporation InMusic bought the company. Founded by inventor and sound engineer Bob Moog almost 50 years ago, Moog's instruments have been played by the likes of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. All of its synthesizers were made in Asheville.
Moog had promoted the employee ownership model, his daughter Moog-Koussa told the Citizen Times in a prior interview. “It was his wish. He believed very strongly in companies being as egalitarian as possible," she said.
As recently as 2022, workers had looked to unionize. One goal reported last year by the Citizen Times was to raise the $14.10 an hour wage to $17.70 an hour.
