| dc.description | Clark Equipment commemorated its 50th anniversary on Aug. 13, 1972, with a family day at its Springfield plant. More than 4,000 people who visited the plant were treated to a picnic luncheon at the conclusion of the tours. Wives and children of employees had the opportunity to see the production process in the plant, which at the time manufactured a line of 130 forklift trucks and special-use vehicles. A decade later, Clark announced the consolidation of lift truck assembly work, eliminating 400 jobs, and by 1987 had ended all production in Springfield. The plant was demolished in 1992. | en_US |
