Officials at the Waltco Truck Equipment Co. announced its manufacturing operations will now be consolidated at the company's primary manufacturing facility in Tallmadge, also the site of the company's headquarters.
All warehousing of liftgates and parts, along with sales operations will continue at the Gardena facility without change.
Both salaried and hourly employees will be impacted by the consolidation. Waltco and union officials at the Gardena facility will be working out the details of a severance package for its bargaining unit members.
In recent years, the company has invested in new technology at the Tallmadge plant, including advances in robotic fabrication, powder coating technology, new lathes, new vertical machining centers and plasma cutting capabilities.
Tallmadge is also the site of the company's engineering group.
These factors, as well as current economic conditions, led to the decision to consolidate manufacturing operations, according to company officials.
Waltco Truck Equipment is located at 285 Northeast Ave.
