According to a Reuters article in December of 2023, the manufacturing sector in the United States was “subdued” in late 2023 as layoffs increased and hiring slowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that Florida may not be completely immune to this trend – as one manufacturing company has announced that it will permanently close a Florida office and lay off dozens of employees.<\/p>\n\n\n

About Fathom Digital Manufacturing: According to the company’s LinkedIn page<\/a>, it is one of the largest on-demand digital manufacturing platforms in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its clients<\/a> include companies in the defense, aerospace, medical, and automotive sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed users give Fathom Digital Manufacturing 3<\/a> out of 5 stars as an employer. While employees noted that the company offers the latest technology, some noted a lack of training and organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Closure And Layoffs: According to a WARN<\/a> notice dated January 23, 2024, company Chief Human Resources Officer Caprice Perez noted that the company’s facility in Miami Lakes is permanently closing. Therefore, 52<\/a> employees will be terminated as a result of the closure beginning on March 24, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final terminations will reportedly occur by April 30, 2024. No employees had bumping rights, but the company offered assurance that it had “provided<\/a> as much advance notice as is practicable of the terminations.” A list of affected job titles was not included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florida saw some manufacturing plant closures in 2023 as well. Tyson Foods<\/a> closed its Jacksonville plant. And Georgia Pacific closed<\/a> its paper mill in Perry, Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
