Pittsburgh Glass Works Inc. announced the first week of May 2009 that it will close a glass manufacturing plant in Hawkesbury, Ontario at the beginning of 2010, with the loss of about 190 jobs, according to published reports in Canada. The company said that the plant will be closed because of the continued decline of automotive manufacturing in North America, as well as the restructuring of the industry. Pittsburgh Glass Works, formerly the automotive glass unit of PPG Industries Inc., had announced the closure of two plants in Ontario in December 2008.
