RECESSION WATCH: WOOD CO. PLASTICS PLANT REDUCES 80 WORKERS

(03/29/2010)
The former GE Plastics plant employs 220 employees in Wood County.

The company, now known as SABIC, has laid-off 80 workers.

The company says they will be looking first for employees who are willing to leave voluntarily.

The lay-offs will happen in April.

The former GE Plastics plant was purchased by SABIC in May 2007. GE bought the plant from Borg-Warner Chemicals in 1988.
