We're now down to one from four .

It was announced last Monday that our only sister plant was shutting down and will be combined into our plant . We had 4 plants back in the 80's . They have a nice machine shop on the premises . Of course I will be going after some stuff including the Hardinge lathe I bought for them back in 86 . Not sure as to what will happen with the equipment , but will keep everyone posted .

MMCMDL,
Sorry to hear about the plant closing. What did your sister plant produce?

 

[mmcmdl]

Our sister plant produced filters for industry , and this is not bad news for our plant . 40% of what they produced got shipped overseas so they are building a plant over there . Our plant will be picking up 6 new product lines and we will be expanding ( including a class 7 cleanroom ) and adding on space and jobs . I see this as a positive for the company .

There are always winner and losers in these events. Glad that your plant and city will benefit.

I hope they are not going to try and work you even more.
