Connections: The Impact of SentrySafe Leaving Rochester

SentrySafe is closing its local plant within a year, moving 350 jobs from the Rochester area to Wisconsin and Mexico. Business leaders and the former owner says this comes as a shock. How did it happen? What did the former owners think when the company was sold to The Master Lock Company? What opportunities are there for the workers who will lose their jobs -- many of them after at least two decades? We dive in with our guests:

  • Jim Brush, Former CEO of SentrySafe, who sold the company last year to The Master Lock Company
  • George Conboy, chairman, Brighton Securities
