Rubbermaid to Close Plant in Iowa, Fire 525
June 16, 2006
About 525 workers at the Newell Rubbermaid Inc. plant in Centerville, Iowa, will lose their jobs when the consumer products maker closes the plant after 21 years of operation. Workers were told Wednesday evening that the plant would shut down Sept. 15 and that production would be moved 325 miles southwest to Winfield, Kan.
The company announced in September a three-year plan to streamline manufacturing and cut overhead, including 5,000 jobs. The company has about 31,000 employees worldwide.
