US shell corporation Bakhmatyuk created, spent $7 million upgrading the Siler City plant. But Omtron abruptly announced in late July 2011 that it would close the facilities by October and lay off 1,156 workers.

Rabin later sold about 80 percent of the equipment in the Siler City plant to an Arkansas poultry company.
