Parker Bertea Will Lay Off 240 Workers

TIMES STAFF WRITER

In another sign of the weakening aerospace and defense business, Parker Bertea Aerospace said Tuesday that it will lay off 240 employees at the end of this week.

About 200 of the layoffs will be in Irvine and another 40 layoffs will be made at the company’s Ogden, Utah, facility. The cuts, which are the second this year, represent 16.5% of the division’s 1,450 employees.

The unit manufactures engine control systems for commercial and military aircraft as well as hydraulic systems known as flight actuators, which control the movement of aircraft parts.
