Vinita, Oklahoma plant to close; 180 to be out of work

Leaders in Vinita, Oklahoma say 180 people will be out of work after a manufacturing plant moves its operations to Texas.

Cinch Connectors employs 120 full-time workers and 60 workers through temporary employment agencies.

A company spokesman says the Vinita plant was no longer cost-effective and that moving to Texas will help the company reduce costs.

The company makes connectors and other products for the computer, aerospace, military and transportation industries.
