Auto parts company closing Pa. plant, idling 70
BOYERTOWN, Pa. (AP) — An auto parts supplier has announced that it will close an eastern Pennsylvania plant by the end of the year, leaving 70 employees without jobs.
Federal-Mogul Corp. cited the faltering economy for the decision to shutter its plant in Boyertown, Berks County.
Company spokesman Jim Burke said Federal-Mogul is trying to streamline operations in a struggling industry.
Burke said employees were told of the decision Wednesday and officials will offer transitional benefits to help workers plan for the future. Federal-Mogul will also help workers move to different locations within the company.
The Southfield, Mich.-based company four years ago closed another eastern Pennsylvania plant, also idling 70 workers.
