Thirty-five workers at Moose Jaw General Cable have been issued with permanent layoff notices.
The plant will now permanently close. In November, temporary layoff notices were issued to workers for three months and it was hoped the plant would reopen in the spring.
But on Thursday, Lisa Lawson, vice-president of Corporate Communications, based at Highland Heights, Kentucky, confirmed the Moose Jaw centre would not be reopening.
Lawson said it was due to a downturn, which the company had hoped to turn around.
“Today we advised our associates in Moose Jaw we are permanently closing the facilities,” she said.
“As we told them, it has nothing to do with the performance of those associates. They are an outstanding workforce.
“It’s nothing to do with operation performance,” she said, “It was strictly an economic decision.”
