New Berlin, Wisconsin, ECM Industries, a manufacturer and distributor of electrical products for construction, maintenance, lighting, irrigation, landscaping, gas utilities, has announced that its recent 2020 acquisition of Cincinnati, Ohio-based ILSCO Corporation, will see the permanent closure of ILSCO's manufacturing plant located in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The closure will affect 121 employees scheduled to be laid off commencing on May 21, 2021, with the last employees being laid off on August 1, 2022.
No reason was provided for the closure although one may suspect the usual business reasons, a pandemic-induced business downturn, operational consolidation with its acquisition parent, and cost-cutting.
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?
