CORRY FORGE COMPANY
A SUBSIDIARY OF ELLWOOD GROUP INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM EXPRESS EMPLOYMENT
CORRY, PENNSYLVANIA

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated; and
(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and
(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and
(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or threat
of separation and to the decline in the sales or production
of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 25, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Corry Forge Company, a
subsidiary of Ellwood Group Inc., Corry, Pennsylvania (hereafter
referred to as "Corry Forge Company"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of custom open die
castings.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Express
Employment.
During the course of the investigation, the Department
collected information from the workers' firm and its major
declining customer(s).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Corry Forge Company have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because sales and/or
production of custom open die castings at Corry Forge Company
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the custom
open die castings produced by Corry Forge Company have increased
during the relevant period when compared to the representative
base period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Corry Forge
Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Corry Forge Company,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of custom
open die castings, meet the worker group certification criteria
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Corry Forge Company, a subsidiary of Ellwood
Group Inc., including on-site leased workers from Express
Employment, Corry, Pennsylvania, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 22,
2018 through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 11th day of June 2019.
