An international manufacturer is closing its Littleton facility and laying off employees.

The shuttering of the IMI Norgren facility at 5400 S. Delaware St. will affect 60 employees based there, according to a letter the company sent to the state Tuesday. The notice said layoffs will begin in April and end in June.

Cal Norgren founded the company in Colorado in 1925 before it was acquired by the U.K.-based IMI Plc in 1972. It is now headquartered there.

IMI Norgren makes parts such as valves that help machines operate more efficiently. Its parts can be found across industries, such as in medical devices, trains and food packaging machines. According to its website, it specializes in “pneumatic fluid and motion control” and can also make custom parts. 

IMI Norgren and its parent company did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday. The manufacturer once had a Littleton workforce of 500, according to the Denver Post, and has operated in the southern suburb for decades. 

Arapahoe County property records indicate that IMI owns the 14.2-acre site where its Littleton factory is located.

IMI Norgren notified the state in an effort to comply with the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires employers to provide advance notice of plant closings and significant layoffs.
