Siemens Energy & Automation will shut down its circuit-breaker plant in Urbana, Illinois a year earlier than expected, a move that will result in the loss of 174 jobs by the end of July.
The plant makes circuit breakers and related parts for commercial and industrial use. It has been operating since the 1950s.
The Georgia-based company originally planned to keep the plant running until mid-2010.
Spokesperson Michael Krampe says the work will be sent to a plant in Monterrey, Mexico.
I was very pleased with the TravelingCrossing. I found a great position within a short amount of time … I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a better opportunity.
