It never stops...
MOSSVILLE – Caterpillar announced the closure of a plant in Belgium and now it’s impacting jobs here at home.
The company has announced another round of layoffs, in Illinois. Hundreds of employees at two sites in Mossville received notices.
Some 300 support and management employees were also notified and will receive severance packages along with a 60-day notice.
Company officials did not disclose the number of layoffs at other locations in the region.
The company says it would work to place some of those employees in new positions within Caterpillar and help others find work elsewhere.
The layoffs largely affected engineers in divisions that Caterpillar plans to consolidate.
