Glenview, Illinois-based ITW Drawform, a division of Illinois Tool Works and a manufacturer of precision deep-drawn stampings, metal stampings, ferrules, and eyelets, has abruptly shuttered its Holland, Michigan manufacturing facility.
The closure will impact 171 employees.
According to a company spokesperson, “Due to a decision by a Drawform customer to shift their business to an alternative supplier, we were disappointed and saddened to have to eliminate the roles of approximately 170 Drawform associates that supported this program at our Holland, Michigan, facility. We express our deepest gratitude to all of our associates impacted by this decision and we are committed to supporting them through this transition.”
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?
