Parker-Hannifin Announces Layoffs

A local company announced Monday that it is laying off workers at three of its plants.

Parker-Hannifin said it is eliminating a total of 10 workers.

The company, which makes engine parts for construction equipment, operates plants in Brookville, Eaton and Lewisburg.

Parker-Hannifin said the struggling economy has led to fewer orders, which means they have to cut staff.

The company employs about 500 people.
