AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT ACUITY BRANDS LIGHTING

Am I Next? Acuity Brands Lighting to lay off 298 workers in Des Plaines, Illinois.

Atlanta, Georgia-based Acuity Brands Lighting. a major lighting supplier for commercial, industrial, infrastructure, and residential lighting solutions, has announced a restructuring plan that will result in the loss of 298 positions at its Des Plaines, Illinois facility. The location which produces fixtures for the Juno-brand lighting products was acquired during the purchase of Juno Lighting from Schneider Electric in 2015. The restructuring effort is said to be in response to its stock performance and the desire to position the company as a technology company rather than a simple manufacturer of lighting products.
