The union representing laid-off Republic Windows workers says a California-based manufacturer may buy the company.

Serious Materials, a California-based maker of energy-efficient windows, will ask the bankruptcy court judge to allow it to purchase the company, according to a press release issued today by the United Electrical Workers Local 1110.

Serious plans to rehire the approximately 300 workers who were laid off from Republic, the union says.

Calls to Serious Materials and Republic Windows were not immediately returned.
