James Marcotte tells of his time at WestPoint Pepperell mill in Biddeford
Share
Editor’s note: This is one of a series of stories of Biddeford’s mill past, told by former mill workers and sponsored by the Biddeford Mills Museum.
On Oct. 4, 2012, James Marcotte recorded a short video for the Biddeford Mills Museum. Sitting in front of a photo of the Saco Falls, Marcotte introduced himself and shared some of the history of WestPoint Pepperell from 1973 through 2004.
Marcotte grew up in Derry, New Hampshire, and when he finished school, he went to work at the nearby Malden Mills in Methuen, Massachusetts, which was a flocking factory. Flocking is a method of electronically applying short strands of material to a base layer to create a fur-like fabric. The fabric was used to make clothing as well as toy animals.
