Nov. 25--Rubbermaid Home Products will lay off about 100 of its 750 workers in Winfield as it reorganizes its operations there.

The company plans to combine all its manufacturing operations at its 12th Street plant, which was expanded last year. Rubbermaid plans to convert its Wheat Road facility to a distribution-only site.

The consolidation is expected to be complete early next year.
