| Virginia Manufacturing Jobs Declined 7.1% Over Past Year - Yahoo Finance Posted: 28 Dec 2009 07:18 AM PST EVANSTON, Ill., Dec. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Industrial employment in Virginia fell 7.1% over the past twelve months according to the 2010 Virginia Manufacturers Directory®, an industrial directory published annually by Manufacturers' News, Inc. (MNI) Evanston, IL. MNI reports Virginia lost 26,531 industrial jobs and 377 manufacturers between October 2008 and October 2009. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070213/MNILOGO) Manufacturers' News reports Virginia is now home to 6,854 manufacturers employing 347,940 workers, compared to a high of 440,261 jobs recorded by MNI in 2001. The loss of 26,000 manufacturing jobs over the past twelve months marks the sharpest year-to-year decline MNI has ever reported in the sixteen years it has been tracking the state's industry. "As with the entire nation, the recession continues to hit Virginia's core sectors, while the faltering housing market has affected industries such as wood products, furniture and building products," says Tom Dubin, President of the Evanston, IL-based publishing company, which has been surveying industry since 1912. Transportation equipment manufacturing saw one of the largest drops in employment, down nearly 11%, according to MNI, due partially to layoffs at Volvo Trucks, International Automotive Components, and the closure of a JTEKT automotive plant. As a result, food products manufacturing has overtaken transportation equipment as the state's largest industrial sector, with 36,486 jobs, down 2.6% over the year. Transportation equipment now ranks second with 34,689 jobs. All other industrial sectors in Virginia lost jobs within the past year and included primary metals, down 22.5%; due partially to the closure of a Reynolds Wrap plant in Richmond. Industrial machinery and equipment fell 17.9%; lumber/wood was down 15.3%; textiles/apparel down 11.2%; furniture/fixtures down 8.7%; paper products down 8.4%; fabricated metals down 6.8%; electronics down 6.5%; stone/clay/glass down 6.2%; rubber/plastics down 5.7% and chemicals down 5.1%. Bright spots for the state include the opening of a First Fruits Beverage bottling facility in Marion, the joint investment of AREVA and shipbuilder Northrop Grumman to open a facility in Newport News, and the opening of auto components maker Westport Corp. in Roanoke. MNI's city data shows Richmond is Virginia's top city for manufacturing employment, home to 35,008 jobs, down 5.9% over the year. Second-ranked Newport News accounts for 26,183 jobs, with employment down 2.6%. Industrial employment in Norfolk dropped 2.7% over the year and is currently home to 11,790 industrial workers. Roanoke accounts for 11,694 industrial jobs, down 7.1% over the year while Lynchburg accounts for 10,900 jobs, down 5.4%. Detailed profiles of Virginia's 6,854 manufacturers and 1,227 industrial distributors can be found in the 2010 Virginia Manufacturers Directory®, available in print for $112 and on CD-ROM from $188. Each profile provides up to 30 facts, including vital contact information (phone, web, e-mail), 24,219 executives by name and title, product(s) manufactured, annual sales, number of employees, and more. Visitors to mnileads.com may generate custom profiles of manufacturers using thirteen different criteria, including area or zip code, county, SIC, sales volume, number of employees, and more.

| Ford expects Volvo deal with China's Geely - San Francisco Chronicle Posted: 23 Dec 2009 09:11 AM PST The Dearborn, Mich., automaker said Wednesday that it expects to finalize the sale of Volvo to China's Geely Group early next year if financing and government approvals fall into place. Ford did not reveal the amount of Geely's offer. Auto analyst Matts Carlson estimated the price tag for Volvo at between $2 billion and $2.3 billion. Ford officially put Volvo on the market in December 2008, at the close of a year in which Ford was in desperate need of cash. Last year, the company lost $14.6 billion, the worst performance in its 106-year history. At the time, Ford had mortgaged its factories to borrow $23.5 billion, and CEO Alan Mulally joined his counterparts from Chrysler and General Motors in requesting U.S. government aid. It turned out the company, unlike GM and Chrysler, didn't need the government aid, and it has managed to repay $10 billion in debt, reducing its total to $27 billion. Ford posted a $1 billion third-quarter profit, it stopped spending more cash than it took in, and it predicted a return to sustained profits in 2011. Ford's U.S. sales through November are down 19 percent from the same period last year, but that's a smaller drop than the overall market's 24 percent decline. Ford decided to sell Volvo in order to focus its management resources on the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands, and that continues to be its mission, company spokesman Mark Truby said Wednesday. Ford acquired Volvo in 1999 for $6.45 billion. "This was never really about Volvo — which we recognize is a very strong brand — but more about the direction we've decided to take with Ford," Truby said. If the sale goes through it would be another step in the U.S. auto industry's sell-off of acquisitions made when it was flush with cash from truck and sport utility vehicle sales in the 1980s and 90s. Ford sold its Jaguar and Land Rover brands to India's Tata Motors Ltd. in June 2008 for $1.7 billion, a third of what it paid for them. General Motors Co. is selling its rugged Hummer brand to construction machinery maker Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Corp., and China's Beijing Automotive Industry Holdings has agreed to buy some powertrain technology from GM's Swedish Saab unit, which is being closed down unless a buyer is found by year end. Work remains on financing and government approvals for the Volvo deal, Ford said in a statement, adding it expects to sign the pact in the first quarter of 2010 and close it in the second quarter. Ford's Truby said the company has worked out details for sharing technology, engineering and parts with Geely, but Ford will not keep a stake in Volvo. For 10 years Ford and Volvo have shared safety and other technology. For instance, Ford's Taurus sedan is based on Volvo underpinnings. Ford also is "comfortable" with provisions that stop Ford from having to compete with its own technology, especially in China, which has become the world's largest auto market. "We're comfortable that we've spent enough time on those issues to ensure that they work for both sides," he said. Ford said in a statement that the deal ensures Volvo has the resources, including the capital investment, necessary to further strengthen the business and build its global franchise. In a separate statement, Geely said its negotiations with Ford had deepened since October and that it had also held "constructive" talks with Volvo's management and Swedish union and government officials. "If a final purchase agreement is signed, as a world famous Swedish car brand, Volvo will continue to lead the trend of world auto technology in safety and environmental protection, and will quickly increase its unique competitive status in the Chinese market," Geely said. Auto analyst Carlson, of the Goteborg Management Institute, said a Geely takeover would be good for Volvo. "Volvo gets a new owner with a lot of money and which I expect will mostly leave it alone because it knows more about vehicle development, vehicle sales and vehicle distribution," said Carlson. ___ AP Auto Writer Tom Krisher in Detroit contributed to this report.
