Defense Dept could endanger Maremont jobs in Maine
The Defense Department's potential purchase of machine guns from Belgium could threaten Saco-Biddeford area jobs at Maremont Corp. The Saco branch, the sole U.S. producer, employs about 1,200. If the gun contract expires in July 1976 without renewal or replacement work, layoffs and possible closure could occur, though other products exist. Maine lawmakers seek a clear U.S. position, while Belgium considers the sale to balance trade and avoid Belgian employment impact.
