Unmanaged losses, waning competitive viability and a changing customer base were given as reasons by company representatives of McClarin Plastics LLC for its looming closure and the 32 workers soon to be without jobs this month.
McClarin announced the closure via press release dated July 21 with the plant closure scheduled for an unannounced date in August.
