Local steel maker Worthington Industries says it will close its plant in Wooster by the end of May, costing 122 employees their jobs. 

The company plans to consolidate the oil and gas equipment manufacturing operation in Wooster into its facility in Bremen.  The company says most of the Wooster employees will be  allowed to transfer to the Bremen facility if they so choose.
