It has been pending for months, but the Record now reports that Lear Corp. has ended production at its Manitou Dr plant in Kitchener. Production was shifted to a plant in Mexico earlier this year. At one time, Lear employed 1,300 people in town. The "For Sale" sign has been up out front for a couple of months - the plant and office are in good shape, so it will be interesting to see if something new eventually takes over.
