Westport-based Terex Corp. is cutting 170 jobs at a plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that assembles pavers, crushers and hot mix units needed to lay asphalt on roadways.
Terex is moving the work to plants in Oklahoma City and Durand, Mich.
Terex acquired Cedarapids Inc. in 1999; the company traces its history to 1923 when it was founded as the Iowa Manufacturing Co., and its milestones include supplying 80 percent of the crushers used by the U.S. military during World War II.
Some 50 employees will remain in Cedar Rapids, according to the Associated Press.
