WATERLOO WORKS ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL SHUTDOWN |
|
|
|
|
|
WATERLOO, Iowa (July 17, 2001) -- In the interest of John Deere's continued commitment to balance its production schedule with retail sales, the Waterloo Works Manufacturing Operations has scheduled a shutdown of its Large Row Crop and 4WD product lines for the week of September 10, 2001. Approximately 700 John Deere manufacturing employees will be impacted by this shutdown. The demand for our Small Row Crop tractors continues to be steady and that product line will not be affected by the shutdown. |
