As a result of this move, the Spicer Heavy Systems Assembly Division’s office in Wyomissing, PA will be closed and its assembly plants in Lancaster, PA and Lugoff, SC will report to Greg DiMarco, gm of the Ride and Control Systems Division.
The company did not say how many jobs would be lost as the result of the Wyomissing plant closure, but did announce Wednesday it would lay off 11,250 people worldwide.
