CVG to Shutter Seattle Operations

Written by Mehul Brahmbhatt on May 28th, 2007 | Filed under: Trucking News

Auto and truck parts supplier Commercial Vehicle Group said Wednesday it will close its Seattle manufacturing facility and transfer operations from there by the end of this year.

About 115 jobs will be lost by the closure by year’s end, CVG said.

“This repositioning is designed to improve CVG’s customer service and strengthen the company’s long-term competitive position,” the company said in a statement.

CVG’s Seattle operation produces interior trim products for heavy-duty trucks and marine products for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Work currently performed at the Seattle facility will be distributed to other CVG plants in the United States, the company said.
