INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indianapolis company will lay off a majority of its workers Tuesday.
Rexnord Bearings announced last year they will be moving production to Texas and Mexico.
Sixty-five of 75 production workers will be laid off Tuesday. The remaining 10 will stay until the shutdown later this fall. About 50 office jobs will be staying in Indianapolis.
