Crane Cams shuts down, workers laid off
By JIM WITTERS

DAYTONA BEACH Crane Cams, a 56-year-old auto parts manufacturer, closed its doors this week and laid off its employees, a worker said today.
The news took Volusia Countys top economic development officer by surprise. City, county and state officials were working with Crane Cams and officials from its New Jersey parent, Mikronite Technologies, to keep the company open and in the community.
We were trying to help them through this transition, said Rick Michael, Volusia County economic development director. They were considering a transfer of ownership. We were not expecting any closure.
An automated voice mail system at Cranes plant on Fentress Boulevard announced at midday today the company was closed and suggested calling back during business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A call to Mikronites New Jersey offices produced similar results. Six cars sat in the parking lot early this afternoon at the local plant, which employed 220 just three years ago.
