GREENSBORO — A precision metal fabrication company plans to close its operations here, putting 121 people out of work.

Metalcraft of Mayville notified city officials today of the closure, which will begin about Aug. 17 and be completed by Sept. 15.

The company, based in Mayville, Wis., operates a 217,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at 7055 Caindale Drive.

Efforts to reach Martin Gallum, the company’s president and CEO, were unsuccessful.

An official at Metalcraft said the company would probably put out a news release about the closing later this week.

The company’s warning to the city called the move a “consolidation and closure.”

Metalcraft has two other plants, both in Wisconsin.

You're blaming the messenger. The N&R is just reporting what the company already told the city. It's the company's responsibility to tell employees, and if they don't see fit to do that before they tell everyone else, be mad at the company.
