[Shop-talk] Shop-vac closing

[Peter Murray]

When I read the article, it appeared to me that this shutdown is just of
their manufacturing facilities in Williamsport, PA, not Shop-Vac as a
whole. They have manufacturing facilities in Binghamton, NY as well as
China.

This article

seems to indicate that it is Shop-Vac as a whole, which I'd find quite
surprising, given the ubiquity of their products! Then again, it is hard
for manufacturing companies to manufacture when the Pennsylvania government
prevents employees from working....
