Saint Gobain Containers LLC (Muncie, Indiana) has ceased production at its Los Angeles, California, plant, which produced glass bottles for Budweiser. The company decided to close the plant in August 2004, because of the fierce competition of the glass business affecting 80 employees. The company has already pulled out all of the equipment and plans to demolish the building in Spring 2005. In addition, the production equipment has already been relocated to other plants in the United States.
