(Koppel, Pa) Over 100 local employees are losing their jobs as Tenaris restructures their workforce. Tenaris made an announcement last Wednesday that 170 positions would be cut between Pennsylvania and Ohio while stating that the steel shop in Koppel would not be affected.
Beaver County Radio spoke with Carolina Mendoza, who handles Media Relations for Tenaris North America about what this meant for Beaver County. Mendoza relayed that a large concentration of the eliminated positions are at the Koppel plant, in the heat treatment and finishing lines departments. 120 local Koppel positions were eliminated.
Tenaris says they will continue ongoing investments at the steel shop in Koppel.
