Titan to Transfer Jobs from Freeport Plant

News reports from the US indicate that Titan Tire is considering cutting back operations at one of its facilities. The Illinois based television channel WREX TV claims Titan Tire CEO Maurice Taylor is unhappy with the revenues generated at the company’s Freeport, Illinois farm tyre plant, and Taylor further believes that union leaders are making it difficult for changes to be made. In response, it seems likely Taylor will opt to expand facilities in Bryan, Ohio and Des Moines, Iowa and transfer jobs currently at Freeport to these two plants. “I can make money with those products and those facilities,” Taylor told WREX TV. “I can not do it up in Freeport and I’m just tired of the hassle, and so are all my managers. This is nuts.”
