About 48 people will lose their jobs when the plant closes,
according to the Spectator. The company will outsource the work to a
manufacturer in St. Louis.
Carlisle Companies’ manufacturing operations have been hit

year-ago quarter, and the company froze wages at the end of 2008 following
several layoffs.
Carlisle Companies’ construction materials segment includes
Carlisle SynTec, a maker of roofing materials. The transportation products
segment includes Carlisle Tire & Wheel Co., a tire maker.
Carlisle Companies stock is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol CSL.
