CelloFlex to Move Plant From Ordill Area to Chicago
Six employees at CelloFlex Limited in the Ordill area will lose jobs as the plant, formerly Brooks Paper Co and now known as Humidity Packaging Inc earlier, relocates to 163 S Canal St Chicago within two to three weeks. Company president J M Dodgson cites shipment efficiency and investor location in Chicago as main reasons. The plant began in May 1968 and employed about 70 people before the Brooks fire last December reduced business by about eight percent.
