INSILCO HOLDING CO. TO CLOSE BUFFALO FACILITY
MCKENICA DIVISION TO SHUTDOWN IN 60 DAYS
COLUMBUS, OHIO, MAY 26, 1999 - INSILCO HOLDING CO. (OTC BULLETIN BOARD:
INSL) today reported that it planned to close its Buffalo-based McKenica
division by the end of July, 1999. McKenica, a manufacturer of heat exchanger
tube mills and related capital equipment, recorded sales of $7.1 million in
1998. McKenica currently employs 54 employees at its Buffalo plant.
Robert L. Smialek, Insilco Chairman and CEO, said, "We regret the
impact the McKenica closing will have on our employees and customers.
Unfortunately, the markets that McKenica serves, in particular the Asian market,
remain very weak. We have attempted, without success, to streamline McKenica's
operations and reduce expenses to a level that current sales could support, as
well as sought a buyer for McKenica. Regrettably, we have no alternative at this
time but to close this operation."
Insilco Holding Co., based in suburban Columbus, Ohio, is a diversified
manufacturer of industrial components and a supplier of specialty publications.
The Company's industrial business units serve the automotive, electronics,
telecommunications and other industrial markets, and its publishing business
serves the school yearbook market. It had revenues in 1998 of $535.6 million.
