Saint Peter, Minnesota-based Alumacraft, a division of Valcourt, Quebec, Canada-based Bombardier Recreational Products, and a manufacturer of sport and utility aluminum boats, has announced a reduction in force in their Saint Peter, Minnesota production facility.
The personnel realignment will impact 68 employees, leaving 207 employees at work on a centralized first shift.
According to a company spokesperson, "We made these very difficult decisions to adapt our production to the current marine industry realities and position the business for future growth."
"The company attributed the segment's declining sales to a lower volume of boats sold, extended supply-chain issues, and unfavorable weather in the Great Lakes region, the largest market for Alumacraft and Manitou."
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. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
