Mayor: Haldex to layoff 170 workers in '08

Brake manufacturer Haldex has announced it will layoff 170 people early next year at its Prattville plant. Prattville Mayor Jim Byard said company executives blamed the layoffs on sluggish sales of its brake products for medium and heavy trucks.

Haldex Brake Systems has been operating in Prattville since the early 1980s.

Byard also said the company could cut up to 85 jobs as part of a restructuring plan. He said Haldex has no plans to close the plant.
