Overview
- SNA Europe Argentina, which announced the change Monday, will discontinue tool making at the Bahco plant in Santo Tomé.
- About 40 workers were notified last week and will receive severance payments in line with Argentine labor law.
- Production will move to other factories in the Snap‑on group, while the Santo Tomé site will handle sales, distribution, and post‑sale service.
- Coverage in Santa Fe ties the move to cheaper imports, a weak currency, and falling sales, contrasting with the company's restructuring rationale.
- The brand has produced in the province since the 1960s, and the switch to importing could squeeze local suppliers and cut skilled factory roles.
