Beachwood, Ohio-based Eaton Corporation USA), an international supplier of industrial and commercial power solutions domiciled in Dublin, Ireland, has announced the closure of its Hastings, Nebraska plant which produces gears for use in automotive differentials and industrial applications. The closure is scheduled to be completed by July 2022 and will impact approximately 83 employees.
According to a company spokesperson, "The production of differential gears will be transferred to their plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico as Eaton’s Vehicle Group continues to adjust its footprint to best serve our customers. This consolidation will allow for operational efficiencies and increased utilization by capitalizing on existing gear machining and heat-treating scale in SLP. This closure is not a reflection on the Hastings employees’ contributions or their commitment to the business. We understand this announcement brings uncertainty for employees and their families, and we plan to provide support throughout the transition.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
