“We are in a very competitive business, both here and internationally. We regret having to consider any plant closing,” said Brian Harris, president of Gates Power Transmission Group. “The closure is not a reflection on the performance of plant employees or plant operations. Moncks Corner has been in operation for a long time, and we respect and appreciate our longstanding relationship with our employees and the community.”

The Moncks Corner plant closing is expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2009.
