DEVOLIN SHOCKED BY CLOSURE OF PROMENS PLANT

November 13, 2007

LINDSAY – Local MP Barry Devolin was shocked to learn that Promens Canada plans to close their Lindsay facility. Earlier this week, about 80 local employees were told that the former Bonair Plastics plant will close in early 2008.

“This is a very difficult situation,” said Devolin. “Earlier today, I spoke with a good friend who has worked at the plant for more than 20 years. My thoughts are with his and every employees’ family as they deal with this devastating announcement – especially just a month before the holiday season.”

Devolin said that he has been in contact with MPP Laurie Scott and Mayor Ric McGee. “In the coming weeks and months, we will work together and do whatever we can to help the employees and the community through this difficult time.”
