120 job losses loom at Tractech

UP to 120 jobs could be axed at a manufacturing plant in Sligo after the company revealed plans to relocate overseas.

Employees at Tractech, which has been based in the town for 20 years, were told operations would be shifted to factories outside of Ireland.

Management at parent company, Eaton Corporation, said the firm had a number of sites manufacturing the same goods but could not find enough buyers to support the level of production.
