Anaheim Bathtub Maker Closing Texas Plant

Lasco Bathware Inc., an Anaheim-based maker of bathtubs, showers and whirlpool tubs, is closing a plant near Austin, Texas, and laying off 100 workers.

The plant makes high-end tubs and whirlpools, according to the Austin Business Journal. Layoffs are set to start in January, according to the paper.

The move is the latest in a series this year by Lasco to deal with the housing and remodeling downturn.

Earlier this year, Lasco laid off 150 workers in Anaheim, where it employs about a 1,000 people at two plants. It also closed a Georgia factory with 100 workers.

Lasco is part of London’s Tomkins PLC, a publicly traded automotive and industrial parts maker that generates more than $3 billion in yearly sales.
