<blockquote>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 County?s 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.? </blockquote>


I think I have a box full of brand new ignition parts from these guys waiting to go in. Ohwell.
