August 20, 2007 -- Delphi Corp. has alerted the state that it intends to close its Kettering Boulevard plant in early- to mid-October, displacing about 275 hourly and 40 salaried workers, a letter from Delphi says. Members of the International Union of Electronic Workers-Communication Workers of America, which represents workers at the plant, have long expected the move.

Delphi, which has been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since October 2005, has said it will sell or close four of five plants in Montgomery County. Recently, the IUE-CWA and Delphi announced a tentative agreement. Auto parts maker Tenneco has been identified as a possible buyer for another Delphi plant in Kettering. The Delphi plant in Moraine is separate from the adjacent GM truck assembly plant, just south of the Delphi plant, also on Kettering Boulevard.
