International Truck and Engine Corporation, the operating company of Navistar International Corporation, this week confirmed published reports that it will lay off about 1,100 employees over the next several weeks.
Barry Laughlin, general plant manager at the company's Springfield, Ohio, operations, said that the closing of the company secondary production line will result in the elimination of approximately 750 to 800 jobs, starting on Sept. 6, and the others will follow in subsequent weeks. The closing of the line had long been anticipated.
Howard Miller, plant manager at the company's Indianapolis engine plant, said that the company would lay off approximately 315 represented production employees effective Sept. 27. Miller noted that the layoff comes as the transition is being made to a new, more powerful 6.0-liter diesel engine for Ford that will be introduced this fall.
When Navistar released third quarter results on August 16, it said it continues to work on a number of actions aimed at fixed cost reductions and improved operating efficiencies.
