FARMINGTON -- The city has lost another manufacturer with the bankruptcy of Mosler Inc., which made bank safes and other security products. Mosler, of Hamilton, Ohio, filed for bankruptcy in early August after firing nearly all of its 1,800 workers.
The Farmington plant once employed nearly 100 people but was down to 30 to 40 employees recently, Mayor Kevin Engler said.
Farmington has lost hundreds of other factory jobs in recent years, most notably the closing of Huffy Bicycle Co. last year.
