02/20/13 Plymouth Mayor Mark Senter was notified Tuesday afternoon of the impending closure of Whitley Products.

As required by the Federal WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act, Whitley notified the mayor of their intentions to permanently cease its operations at its facility located at 1403 Stanley Drive and 1100 Flora Street in Plymouth.

The notification states, “Whitley currently expects that the facility will close sometime during the fourteen day period beginning on April 22, 2013 and ending on May 6, 2013, during which time all employees will be terminated.  No labor organization represents the employees of Whitley.”

Between the two plants a total of 86 will be terminated.
