Electrolux Closing

3:00 p.m. marked the end of an era in Webster City. Today was the last day of work for 500-plus employees at Electrolux. KCCI reports Electrolux Major Appliances North America has been planning the closure since 2009. 850 jobs in total were cut, down from several thousand that were at the plant years ago. The plant operated for 74 years. The company's consolidating its North American laundry manufacturing into one facility in Juarez, Mexico.
