Crown Cork to close Lakeville plant for 7 months Associated Press Published Jan 11 2002 LAKEVILLE, Minn. -- Crown Cork & Seal Company Inc. plans to temporarily shut its Lakeville plant, idling approximately 80 workers for at least seven months. The company sent a layoff notification letter to state officials on Wednesday, said Gail Butenhoff, an administrator for the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development. The letter said Crown plans to halt aluminum can assembly in Lakeville sometime around March 17. The plant may reopen in October, it said. Crown Cork & Seal makes aluminum beverage cans in Lakeville. It produces aerosol cans at a plant in Faribault. No layoffs or shutdowns are planned for the plant in Faribault, said Jim Deaver, the Philadelphia-based company's director of industrial relations. © Copyright 2002 Star Tribune. All rights reserved.
