( KMZA )-An economic boost for a Seneca plant.
SKF USA has announced plans to transfer the manufacture of industrial seal products from Franklin, North Carolina to its production facility in Seneca.
The consolidation is expected to take 18 months. The company will be investing 2.4 million dollars in upgrading the Seneca plant.
With the closing of the North Carolina plant, 28 employees will be affected.
The company says the consolidation will improve facility use and customer service.
The Seneca plant currently employs 150 people. That number could go up slightly with the consolidation, depending on demand.
