If true, sad for the few remaining there.
Can anyone else confirm?

@3jip+174V3odx Look, not trying to be rude because people are going to lose their jobs, but 8018 was an inefficient place being masked by the fact that it rolls up into one large business unit.

What you think about it?
WE used to make all the powersections at mono . Then they sent it all to canada . Who have not a clue....
8018 is power sections and 8017 is CAPs.
8018 isn’t effective or efficient if it dips below a certain production hours. Also, a very wasteful place.
8018 Breen is closing completely down on October 9th.
