ELKHART -- CoverMaster, a local truck cap and lid manufacturer, will close this week, industry sources said.
The company, at 57784 C.R. 3 South, opened in 1978. CoverMaster supplied truck caps and lids to more than 200 dealers in 43 states, according to the company's Web site.
CoverMaster President James Fletcher was not available for comment Thursday and other company employees declined to comment.
Industry sources said they were notified of CoverMaster's closing earlier this week.
CoverMaster has 16 employees, but employed about 100 just two years ago, media reports said. They will receive their final paychecks today, the reports said.
