Maytag sale in Missouri won’t affect Herrin plant
HERRIN The sale of Maytag Corporation's Jefferson City Missouri component parts facility will not impact the Herrin plant. Spokesman Jim Powell said the Jefferson City site was involved in limited pilot production of developmental refrigerators now moved to Amana Iowa. The plant also made powdered metal bearings and will sell that part to a major producer while continuing to buy parts from the new owner. Steve Ingham said the move aligns with becoming less vertically integrated and more cost competitive. Maytag will offer displaced employees outplacement, transition pay, and medical benefits.
