Allied Systems Ltd., an Atlanta-based auto and truck transportation company, told state officials yesterday that it will close its Janesville plant on Dec. 23, the same day that the city's General Motors plant is expected to close.
All of Allied Systems' 117 employees in Janesville will be permanently laid off, the company told the state Department of Workforce Development.
More than 1,200 GM employees will lose their jobs because of the plant closure. More job losses will come from the companies that serve and supply the plant.
Logistics Services Inc. (LSI) told the DWD last week it will close its Janesville plant and lay off 159 workers. Flint Special Services Inc. also said it will close its Janesville plant and lay off 28 workers. Both companies provide materials for the GM assembly line in Janesville.
Almost two weeks ago, Lear Corp. notified the state agency that it will eliminate 371 jobs, beginning Dec. 23. Lear supplies interiors and seating systems to the GM plant.
