Diceon to Close Plant in Chatsworth, Cut 100 Jobs

Unable to stop consistent losses, Diceon Electronics Inc. said Monday that it will close its Chatsworth manufacturing plant and dismiss 100 employees.

Chief Executive Peter Jonas said the plant--which makes electronic circuit boards that are used in mainframe computers and other high-tech equipment--will close by April 30.

About 100 of Diceon’s 1,100 employees will lose their jobs and another 30 are expected to relocate to the company’s Irvine plant, which employs about 400 people. The company also will transfer work from the closed plant to its other plants in Nashua, N.H., and Mountain View, Calif.
