Linamar to Close Batawa Ontario Plant

Linamar Corporation has announced the closure of Invar Manufacturing Corporation, located in Batawa, Ont.

Invar currently employs 134 active employees and will work through an orderly wind down of operation over the next few months.

“Unfortunately, despite the efforts of all involved, Invar Manufacturing Corporation is not a competitive option for Linamar,” said Jim Jarrell, president & COO. “We regret the personal impact that this will have on employees and their families and sincerely appreciate their cooperation during the orderly wind down of operations.”The closure does not affect Linamar’s other Ontario facilities where new business continues to be won and production levels are rising, says the company.
