Donnelley Closing Mendota, IL, Plant, More than 200 Losing Jobs

Mendota Mayor David Boelk called the closure “devastating,” the paper said, with numerous husband-and-wife tandems working at the facility. Boelk reportedly learned of the closure when an employee called him “in tears.”

The Mendota plant was obtained as part of RR Donnelley’s 1992 acquisition of magazine printer Combined Communication Services, according to the newspaper.
