The Announcement

On Friday, September 7th the announcement was made that the Chickasha, OK facility would be shut down by April of 2008. The announcement was met with stunned silence. This facility has been a major employer in Chickasha for 35 years. Over the past 3 years there have been 2 other reduction in force layoffs. Even with that past history, this decision came as a bit of a shock. The good news for the employees is that they do have time to develop a plan and look for other employment before the plant closes.

I personally have worked for this company for 24 years. I will miss the many people I have had the incrediable pleasure to work with during this time.

Dan, I hope this finds you well. I am trying to find information about when the Chickasha plant opened under the Meritor name. Would you happen to know the year the facility was purchased by Meritor?
