(KENOSHA, WIS.) - The Leblanc clarinet factory whose history dates back centuries in France will shut down, cutting the final 100 jobs at what once was one of Kenosha, Wisconsin’s best-known companies.

Conn-Selmer says production will be transferred to its woodwind factory in Elkhart, Indiana, over the next 12 months.

Conn-Selmer is a subsidiary of Steinway Musical Instruments which bought Leblanc in 2004.
