The company announced Monday that the move to Greensboro, North Carolina, is part of a reorganization and split by its parent company, VF Corp.

Lee Jeans will join Wrangler jeans in North Carolina as part of a spinoff from VF Corp.

Vanessa McCutchen, spokeswoman for VF Corp., says the company is still considering the fate of the 130 Merriam-based Lee employees. It wasn’t clear whether they would relocate to Greensboro or otherwise remain with the company.
