Recs

1

Wind tower maker DMI Industries Inc., says it has cut 100 more workers due to declining demand from customers.

DMI spokeswoman Belinda Forknell says the cuts represent a combination of full-time and part-time jobs to eliminate the weekend shift at the West Fargo plant. She says the latest cuts, along with 60 cuts made in January, leave about 200 people working at the plant.

DMI is a subsidiary of Otter Tail Corp., based in Fargo and Fergus Falls, Minn. The company also has operations in Fort Erie, Ontario, and a plant under construction in Tulsa, Okla.
