Plant Closing In Merrill Costs About 120 Workers Their Jobs

The closing of the Semco Windows and Doors plant in Merrill has left at least 120 workers without a job as the new year begins.  All employees were terminated effective December 31^st.  A letter from the Semling Menke Company blamed a lack of orders, insufficient cash and the inability to find a buyer for the company for the decision to shut operations down.  The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development reports 141 employees will be impacted, but the company president puts that number at 120.
