Forging site may absorb laid-off workers

DANVILLE – Although ThyssenKrupp will close its Voorhees Street machining facility next month and lay off workers there, company officials plan to rehire some of those employees at its forging facility that's under expansion.

The closure of the Voorhees plant in the midst of a $19 million investment project at the forging facility along Lynch Road is part of ThyssenKrupp Crankshaft Co.'s overall plan to consolidate its crankshaft machining and forging operations at one site and invest in new machining and forging technologies.
