Auto Supplier Announces Indiana Plant Closure

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Automotive door handle manufacturer Key Plastics Incorporated (Northville, Michigan) has announced plans to close the company's manufacturing plant in Hartford City, Indiana, and consolidate the production to other North American manufacturing facilities.

Last month, the company announced that it would close the Hartford City plant by August of this year, eliminating almost 200 jobs. Key Plastics has operated the plant since 1993. The facility manufactures door handles for foreign and domestic auto companies. The shutdown will allow the company to improve its efficiency by consolidating production at fewer sites.

Key Plastics was established in 1986. The company has 18 locations in eight countries. In 2010, the company reported sales of $480 million. Key Plastics currently has approximately 4,100 employees. Customers include OEM and Tier 1 Suppliers.
