The first of those cuts will be the company's toilet-manufacturing plant here, and the cost will be some 275 jobs. "We're closing the Trenton plant because it's one of our oldest and smallest plants, operating at only about half capacity," says company vice president Laurie Breininger of the 75-year-old facility. "It's less expensive to move the Trenton production to other plants," she says, adding that most of the plant's production would end by the second quarter of this year.
American Standard also announced that it's planning to take an $82 million charge in 2000's fourth quarter to pay for the cuts.
