Indalex closes Niles plant; 23 out of work

NILES — Indalex Aluminum Solutions’ Niles plant has closed, leaving 23 employees out of work.

Scott Langdon, company spokesman, said the Henry Street plant that extruded mill finished aluminum, or unpainted aluminum used in the truck-trailer industry, closed Friday because of a downturn in trailer construction.

Indalex closed its Girard plant in January, leaving 300 employees without work. It manufactured windows and doors for the construction market.

Those at the Niles plant will receive severance packages with the amount depending on their length of service. Health benefits also will be based on employment years.
