Automatic Controls has decided to close its production facility in Buda, Texas.

As a result, the manufacture of Danfoss Chatleff distributer products will be relocated to the existing facility in Monterrey, Mexico. The Buda facility will be closed down by the end of 2010, with the loss of 120 jobs.

 

“This was a necessary decision," says Søren Eskildsen, Senior Vice President, Danfoss Automatic Controls. “In order to improve our competitive position, and ensure a long-term profitable business, we have to consolidate distributer production into our Mexico operation.”

 

All Chatleff employees have been informed and will be supported in finding new jobs as much as possible. A few employees will be offered transfers to other Danfoss locations.
