Nearly 60 workers at Globe Metallurgical on the Old Montgomery Highway near Selma, Alabama, will find themselves without work in less than two months.
Officials at Globe have notified the state and the city that they intend to cease operation for at least six months by March 22.
Wayne Vardaman, director of the Selma & Dallas County Economic Development Authority, said the state had received notice of the proposed closure. The state's rapid response team is working on the project.
The document filed with the state and City of Selma says the company expects to be closed for at least six months because of a "market decline" and competition.
The Web site for the Selma-Dallas County Chamber of Commerce says Globe Metallurgical bought the Alamet silicon metal plant in Selma in 1984.
The company earned the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 1988, in recognition of the quality of its manufacturing processes and its products.
