SYRACUSE - Dana Corp. plans to lay off more employees at its Syracuse facilities.
According to a letter to Syracuse Town Manager Brian Redshaw from Dana Plant Manager Greg Kirkpatrick, Dana Corp., Traction Technologies Group, intends to transfer some carrier and case lines to other Dana facilities and sell its operations related to the manufacture of knuckles, yokes, tubes and bearing caps at Syracuse.
This will result in the permanent layoff of approximately 25 salaried employees from the Syracuse facility. The first layoffs will begin around Jan. 10 and be completed in about seven days. All positions and jobs associated with the manufacture of the listed items may be affected.
By making this move, Dana Corp. will focus more on its core technologies, which are in the manufacturing of axle components consisting of cases, carriers and gear sets.
Dana executives will meet with employees to discuss benefits and other assistance.
Redshaw told the Syracuse Town Council Tuesday, "Beyond (the letter), that's all I know." [[In-content Ad]]
