Ceratizit is closing the remaining operations at a cutting tool plant in Derry Township and eliminating 42 jobs in the process.
The former Newcomer Products plant will close next month, employees said.
The 66-year-old plant had 130 workers when Ceratizit, of Luxembourg, bought it in 2007 but some have been laid off since, including when the company centralized its U.S. tool cutting manufacturing at its American division headquarters in Warren, Mich. in February 2010.
Ceratizit USA is now consolidating all of its remaining Western Pennsylvania operations in Michigan, including scrap recycling, and distribution, customer service and finance operations that had remained at the plant.
