Aerospace parts maker Hamilton Sundstrand delivered pink slips to 45 salaried workers today, including 12 in Windsor Locks, a company spokesman confirmed.
The cuts represent at least the third wave of layoffs at the Windsor Locks-based company in the past 12 months. In May, Hamilton idled 62 union employees.
Hamilton spokesman Dan Coulom said the cuts are a result of “the continuing global economic crisis and poor market conditions we are dealing with right now.”
The company’s products include aircraft propellers and air-conditioning systems, and space-suit components.Â
Coulum would not identify the jobs performed by the laid off workers.
He added that the aerospace industry continues to “feel effects of the recession” and that the decision to make the current round of layoffs was based on “special business and customer needs.”
Earlier this year, Hamilton’s Hartford parent, United Technologies Corp., said it would reduce its work force by 11,600 across all divisions.
