Earlier today Regal Beloit announced that they will be closing their West Plains Plant effective May 31st 2020. In a letter they stated.
“The Regal Commercial Motor business is restructuring its manufacturing footprint to proactively position it for long-term success. Given the current operating realities of the competitive global market, the business has decided to close its West Plains, Missouri facility. The work will be transferred to other facilities within the business to increase synergies with our parts and assembly plants. While the transfer will occur in phases over the next nine months, we wanted to provide our associates with as much notice as possible. The first portion of production transitioning will begin in the 4th quarter of 2019 with the final closure expected by the end of the 2nd quarter of 2020. We are committed to working closely with our associates throughout this process to minimize disruption or personal impact and to ensure a successful transition for our customers.”
The closure will happen in stages with the first layoffs in January. ECNN will continue to follow the story and keep you updated as more information becomes available.
