Medtec Ambulance Closing It's Doors

[FreshDave04]

This story was just featured on my local news: http://www.wsbt.com/news/wsbt-medtec-facilities-will-close-01062011,0,3273438.story


Medtec has been purchased by Pierce, resulting in all ambulance manufacturing to be consolidated into Pierce's plants. This will cause at least 175 people to lose their jobs, locally, by March.

When I was at the plant in 1995 it was mostly Amish that were there. Now last year we bought 2 new Internationals from there and the orders were delayed because the guys who did the interior cabinets had " Issues" and were off work for 30-60 days. It seems they took a few too many 4:20 work breaks.

MedTec has been owned by Pierce all along. It seems they are consolidating operations.


Also, I dont like that these guys should have to apply for their jobs. Instead, they should be offered jobs. Why should they have to reapply?

Road Rescue was bought by ASV and they immediately announced that the plant was shutting down, all records being sent to the Wheel Coach plant in Florida. The shut down was supposed to be finished by last month, leaving a 7 year old plant empty...
