THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Tomasco Mulciber Inc., a parts supplier for Honda, is closing its Columbus plant, leading to the loss of 213 jobs.
The company, also known as TMI, makes hand brakes, hood locks and fuel lids, among other parts. The Southeast Side plant will begin to wind down operations in November and close by next June.
"The decision to cease operations at TMI was made after months of extensive evaluations, which concluded that Tomasco could not continue operations given the current and forecasted business and economic environment," the company said in a statement.
"Our greatest concern is for our associates and their families. We will do all that we can to provide help and support to our associates through this transition."
A Honda spokesman said the automaker is looking for new sources for the TMI-made parts and expects minimal disruption to vehicle production.
