Owners of the 196-year-old Bedford company -- family-run for seven generations -- announced Friday that it will close after filling its existing orders. No date was given.

In a news release, company executives said that not receiving an $850,000 tax break it had expected from the state for moving its headquarters to a former brownfield about five years ago weighed heavily on its decision.
