Atlas Copco: Quincy Compressor LLC to Consolidate U.S. Operations

Atlas Copco-owned Quincy Compressor LLC will consolidate the company’s two U.S. based manufacturing units into one single location in Bay Minette, Alabama.

As a consequence, 152 positions will be affected at Quincy’s operations in Illinois, and a number of new positions will be created at the Alabama location. It is estimated that the transition will be concluded in the coming 12 months.
