The plant closings, which include shedding about 2,400 jobs, come as the company is dealing with a global economic slowdown that's cut into its business.
The Solon plant was sold to Dow in 2007. It makes materials used in roads and bridges and other infrastructure projects, according to AP.
The plant had roughly 40 jobs when it was sold to Dow, according to the AP. It's unclear how many it has now.
