Clopay Plastic Products Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffon Corporation, announced that Clopay Europe will exit certain less profitable product categories in 2013 in order to focus on operating and growing its more profitable business lines as a result of the region’s challenging macroeconomic climate. As part of the action, Clopay Plastics says it will be investing in several new capital projects in order to improve both operating and material efficiencies. The company says it remains committed to its European business. The restructuring is expected to lead to improved performance and future growth potential.
