According to the Associated Press, Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd. (TTI) will close Hoover's main campus in North Canton, Ohio, and some manufacturing operations of the vacuum-cleaner business by fall, resulting in 750 job cuts. Hoover has been based in this northeastern Ohio city for nearly 100 years. The closings will affect about 650 union manufacturing positions and 100 salaried jobs. A Hoover distribution center and a vacuum-bag assembly plant will remain open, but the manufacturing work will be consolidated into operations in El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico.
