Bowling Green Metalforming laid off about fifty people in both its salaried and hourly divisions.

The Media Relations Director for MAGNA International, the parent company of BG Metalforming, told us these layoffs could last indefinitely.

Tracy Fuerst says the layoffs are the result of declining sales in the truck-manufacturing industry.

BG Metalforming makes frames for trucks, and supplies both Ford and General Motors.

Rumor is they are bringing people laid off from another plant in canada and paying for the housing and giving gas cards to them.

The lay-offs ARE indefinate. They are due to an aggressive restructuring of the entire management team.
