Canadian auto supplier seeks to buy Checker Motors

| Sunday, May 31, 2009

Checker Motors Corp. is asking a bankruptcy court to approve its sale to a Canadian automotive supplier for $1.6 million.

Documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court say Windsor, Ontario-based Narmco Group LLC proposes buying Kalamazoo-based Checker, which has operated under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since Jan. 16.

The Kalamazoo Gazette says Judge James D. Gregg will hold a hearing on the sale June 9 in Grand Rapids.

Checker produced taxicabs in Kalamazoo until 1984 before becoming a supplier of stamped metal parts to automakers, primarily General Motors Corp. Narmco also supplies GM and more than a dozen other automakers and suppliers.

The court documents do not mention the fate of Checker's Kalamazoo operations or its approximately 250 employees, should the sale be approved.
