Longer Christmas Shut Down for Skyjack

Skyjack's president, Ken McDougall Told AI, "In a ‘normal' year, Skyjack idles the factory for an approximate two week period in December to allow for the Christmas holiday, inventory, annual maintenance activities etc...This year due to lighter market demand we had extended this period to 3 weeks and with a look into 2009 we do not see a level of demand that would warrant another weeks worth of inventory being manufactured this year. Thus we came to a decision to extend this shut down period in the Scissor plant."
