French conglomerate Legrand is closing a facility in Shakopee and laying off about 70 employees in its AV division there. Legrand AV Inc., which makes audio and visual equipment for consumer and commercial markets, sent a letter outlining the plans to the state. The company cited a "restructuring and reorganization of its business" as reason for the closure. Employees learned of the permanent shuttering at an April 5 meeting. Layoffs should start in September, and the Shakopee facility — listed on the company's website as the operations center (assembly and distribution) — will close by the end of the year.
