SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A farm equipment manufacturer in Sioux City is shutting down its two plants, eliminating more than 50 jobs in the area.
The Sioux City Journal reports (https://bit.ly/1Ai0NSC ) Soo Tractor, which has been doing business as Radius Steel Fabrication, will shut down production at its two Sioux City plants between the end of May and the end of June.
It’s unclear why the company, founded more than 70 years ago, is shutting down the plants. Its chairman, Allen Mahaney, died in February at age 77.
Messages left for the company Thursday were not immediately returned.
The newspaper reports the company will host a job fair May 29 for displaced workers such as welders, machinists and laser cutters.
