Singapore-based Ennovi Advanced Mobility Solutions Rhode Island, a technology company developing and engineering battery systems and products for electric vehicles, has announced the closure of its East Providence, Rhode Island, Rumford manufacturing facility.
The closure will impact 220 employees by January 2025.
According to a company spokesperson, “This action is due to a strategic realignment and consolidation of Ennovi’s North American manufacturing sites.”
All 205 local employees who work within the Rumford plant will lose their jobs no earlier than Jan. 1, 2025, the same time the plant is expected to close, according to a spokesperson.
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?
