In all, 72 employees were laid off. Eight employees left the company after Flowserve first announced plans to close the Dayton foundry last November.
“I know they had a couple of orders they were still getting out the door, so to speak,” Rosene said Thursday.
The Flowserve Dayton foundry was a high alloy facility specializing in stainless steels, nickel- based alloys and reactive alloys such as titanium and zirconium, according to the company’s website.
The nearby 2200 E. Monument facility, west of the foundry, has corporate functions for Flowserve such as finance, marketing and a small titanium foundry.
“That is not impacted,” Rosene said.
