flag Paulson is closing an Ohio factory, moving production to China, and cutting 150 union jobs despite his public support for U.S. manufacturing.

flag Billionaire John Paulson, a major Trump donor and vocal advocate for U.S. manufacturing, is closing Conn Selmer’s East Lake, Ohio, plant by June 2026 and moving production to a new facility in China, eliminating 150 union jobs. flag Despite publicly opposing offshoring and supporting tariffs to protect American industry, Paulson’s company began shifting work to China in 2025, using lower-quality materials and removing parts from the Ohio line. flag Workers and union leaders, including UAW Local 2359 president Robert Hines, called the move a betrayal, citing broken promises and lack of communication. flag The company says the shift aims to improve competitiveness, but critics argue it benefits executives without lowering consumer prices.
