York plant to lay off 130 |
YORK — An auto parts manufacturer will lay off 130 workers at its York facility as it shifts production to a plant in Illinois.Champion Laboratories says the layoffs will occur over the next two months. The jobs will go to a plant in Albion, Ill., but the York facility will continue to make products for many of North America’s major automakers, Champion officials said.“This decision was in no way a reflection on the performance of the York facility,” the company said in an announcement.Since its founding in the 1950s, Champion has grown from a small Midwestern company into one of the world’s biggest suppliers of filters and filtration products. The York plant is located on Ratchford Road.
