More than 300 workers will lose their jobs before Christmas when the GDX Automotive facility in Batesville closes its doors.
The shutdown is pending the completion of the sale of GDX International Holdings to MAPS Holdings Inc. The plant is expected to close in late November, according to a news release.
The last day of operation for the plant, which manufactures sealing products, will be Nov. 26, said Jonah Shumate, president and chief executive officer of the Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce.
