(Transaxle)

A truck parts distributor with facilities in 11 states is closing.

Transaxle filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry, informing the state it is laying off more than 200 people on the East Coast, including nine employees at 22073 Perry Highway in Jackson Township, Butler County, near Zelienople.

The company said in the WARN notice that it has been trying to sell the business, but those efforts haven’t been successful.

“Despite our efforts we have not been able to consummate a sale at this time. As a result, the company finds itself in the difficult position of having to conduct an orderly wind down of the business,” Transaxle said in the WARN notice.
