ABC Group Sales & Engineering Inc. will permanently close its Saline, Mich., ABC Technologies facility, eliminating all 156 positions at the location.
The Saline plant will close on or around Dec. 31, the company said in a June 24 WARN notice to the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity and Workforce Development.
"The product line will be transferred to another ABC Technologies manufacturing facility located in Wyoming, Mich.," the notice said. "All employees will be offered an opportunity to transfer with the business."
None of the affected employees have bumping rights or union representation, it said.
Representatives for Toronto-based ABC did not immediately respond to request for comment by Plastics News.
In April, ABC Technologies also announced it would close Windsor, Ontario-based subsidiary Emrick Plastics, with about 100 workers, after it negotiated a closing agreement with Unifor Local 195. The agreement included the option for some employees to transfer to jobs at Precision Plastics in Amherstburg, Ontario, and severance packages for employees who did not transfer, The Windsor Star first reported.
ABC Technologies, which manufactures parts for the automotive industry, had an estimated $760 million of injection molding sales in 2023 with 12 plants in North America and an estimated 4,600 employees.
It is the ninth-largest injection molder in North America according to Plastics News data.
