Outside the door of an Elkhart company, reads the quote, "If you want to do something good, go somewhere else. If you want to do something great, walk through these doors."

Well, the doors at Philips Products will soon be closing after more than 40-years of business.

While company officials won't say anything, several employees tell us they were told the plant is shutting down.

Philips makes doors and windows -- mostly for RV's -- and has several locations around the country, including one in Elkhart and one in Bristol.

"It's just kind of hard to really explain. I mean, right now it's just, kinda lost, but it's really hard to say. Right now the only thing I'm gonna do is take it one day at a time. But like I said, it's really hard to say," explains employee Rene Lopez of the apparent closing.

Again, this is information from several employees.

The company has not officially confirmed the news.
