According to RTT Global Financial Newswires:

Alcoa Electrical and Electronics Solutions, the electrical solutions business of aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. (AA: News, Chart, Quote ) Monday revealed plans to shutdown facilities in Mexico and Texas in the third quarter. A decline in production demand and a change in logistic processes have prompted the company to take the decision. The restructuring is expected to affect a total of 1465 employees.

As per the plan, Alcoa would close operations in Puebla, Mexico as well as its warehouse in Del Rio, Texas. The closure will result in the elimination of about 65 jobs in Del Rio and nearly 1,400 jobs in Puebla. The company will provide full severance and outplacement support services to the affected employees. (more here)
