Longueuil, Quebec, Canada-based KDC/ONE, a provider of manufacturing and packaging solutions for the personal care, beauty, and household sectors, has announced the closure of its 31,000-square-foot Lynchburg, Virginia beauty and personal care products manufacturing plant by the end of 2023.
The closure will impact 670 employees, with layoffs occurring in stages. Current operations will be transferred to the company's other plants.
The decision was driven by a review and analysis of the older plant's profitability and ability to respond to market demand.
According to KDC/ONE's Vice President of Communications, Michael Salzillo, “In the normal course of business, we conduct regular strategic reviews of our operations across the network. During our recent review and analysis, it became clear that we needed to make the difficult business decision to wind down operations in KDC/One Lynchburg, and complete a full shutdown of the site in late 2023.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
