Park Electrochemical Corp. (NYSE: PKE) announced that its Park Advanced Composite Materials, Inc. (“PACM”) facility, located in Waterbury, Connecticut, will be closing its operations at the end of April, 2012 after the completion of the transfer of PACM’s aerospace composite materials manufacturing activities to the Company’s Park Aerospace Technologies Corp.

As the result of this closure, Park expects to record total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $3 million.
