LaGrange Company To Idle 100+ Workers

A company in LaGrange that makes gas and electric cooking appliances is hitting its workforce with a second round of lay-offs in a three-month period. Roper Corporation will furlough 120 workers temporarily by the end of this month. It follows a similar action last month that laid-off more than 250 workers.

The company cites the continued economic downturn as reason for the lay-offs. Roper Corporation makes appliances under the G.E., Profile, and Monogram brands.
