Montreal, Canada-based Dorel Industries, a designer and manufacturer of children's products and home furnishings, has announced that its Tiffin, Ohio, Ameriwood manufacturing facility will be converted to a distribution and warehouse operation supporting the parent company.
The conversion will impact 130 employees, commencing on September 5, 2024. Dorel. production and equipment will be moved to the company's other production facilities,
According to a company spokesperson, “This reduction is a result of a significant downturn in our business. Our parent company Dorel has been forced to make some hard financial decisions to survive this economy. This means a drastic change to the number of employees that will be needed going forward and the permanent elimination of a large number of jobs in Tiffin,”
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. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. 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. While many employees can read the writing on the wall; why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
