DANVILLE – Officials at Flex-N-Gate in Urbana are closing the Danville Bumper Works plant by the end of this month, according to a letter that company officials distributed to employees.
The letter stated that the plant at 647 Section St. will close by Oct. 22 and cited the downturn in the auto industry as the reason. The plant has been downsizing for some time, according to a longtime employee, Larry Thompson, and Vicki Haugen, president and chief executive officer of Vermilion Advantage, the local economic development office.
