Greenkote IPC, formerly Industrial Powder Coating, has closed its doors.

The company, which was located at 300 Isaac Shelby Drive, was established in 1987 and became Greenkote IPC in March 2007.

The company had 74 employees last year, and it put a powder coating on products for GE, Chrysler, Roll Forming Corporation, and more.

Plant Manager Stacy Craig, said she could not comment on why the company went out of business.

The company is the latest casually of the economic recession that has been sweeping the country for the past year.

In tough economic times when many companies are having trouble staying in business, one local company is preparing to expand.

Now 28 years old, Renea Sageser figures she has spent 24 years of her life dealing with therapy in some way.

It began when she was a child going through several years of speech therapy herself. Then during her senior year of high school, her mother was involved in a traumatic automobile accident, resulting in a serious head injury.

Sageser took on the caregiver roll as her mother endured intensive therapy.

Shelbyville soon will lose one of its most popular shopping destinations.
