The closure will result in shift of 70 workers.
Kathryn Siefert, Vice President, informed that the decision was taken considering the global trend of moving the production to countries like China.
Tex-Tenn had filed for assistance from the US Department of Labor under the Trade Readjustment Act.
If approved, the employees would be eligible for additional weekly unemployment compensation.
As for now the workers will receive unemployment benefits for maximum 26 weeks.
