Navistar expects to complete the closure of the above-mentioned foundries in the summer of 2015. Once closed, Navistar will save US$13 million in operating costs each year. At the same time, 180 employees will be laid off.

Navistar said that in the future, the company will gradually purchase engine parts from suppliers, and thus successfully complete the transition in the first half of 2015.

Persio Lisboa, president of Navistar's operations department, said: "In the past two years, we have taken a series of measures to expand our business and constantly seek to restore profitability and long-term success. Cooperation with suppliers will help reduce production costs and improve Overall capacity utilization, and free up more resources to invest in our North American truck and parts business.”

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Navistar spent US$11 million to cover expenses related to employee departures, pensions, other retirements, termination of contracts, and inventory reserves. In addition, to eliminate the impact of shutting down the Indianapolis foundry in the first half of next year, the company expects to spend more than $40 million in additional costs.

PS Sheet

PS sheet is a new type of environmentally friendly packaging material developed in recent years. With its excellent thermoforming performance, good defensive performance, environmental performance and hygiene performance, it is widely used in medicine, food, toys, electronics and clothing.


main feature:
1. Low static electricity generation, suitable for packaging products that require low static electricity.
2. Easy to vacuum form, and the product has good anti-attack performance.
3. It has good hygienic properties and can be in direct contact with food without causing harm or benefit.
4. It is easy to be colored and can be made into materials of different colors and produced into vacuum covers of different colors.
5. Good hardness, this kind of sheet material has better hardness than other sheet materials of the same thickness. The thermoformed cup can be used as a hot and cold drink cup.
6. It meets environmental protection requirements and can be recycled and reused. When its waste is incinerated, it does not produce harmful substances that harm the environment.
The main purpose:
1. Low static electricity generation (such as electronic products...)
2. Food packaging (such as: beverages, candy, and meat... packaging)
3. Dairy products (dairy products packaged in polystyrene sheet containers can be placed in a cold storage and will not deteriorate easily;)
