Koehring to phase out Lorain plant and move to Chattanooga
Koehring plans a 12 to 14 month shift of Lorain Division operations to the new Chattanooga plant after finalizing the purchase of Lockheed-Georgia Co's 250000 square foot facility. About 400 workers are to lose their jobs as administrative and certain production roles move, with remaining Lorain output and offices to continue locally. Local union leaders criticize the decision, linking it to past labor actions and the plant’s declining standing in the shovel industry.
