Shelton, Connecticut-based Edgewell Personal Care Company, a consumer products company, has announced the closure of its Schick plant in Milford, Connecticut, by the end of 2027.
The closure will affect 293 employees, with layoffs scheduled for March 2, 2026, through March 16, 2026.
A spokesperson noted that the closure is a part of a broader strategic business decision, and the closure will happen in phases. The company's corporate headquarters will remain in Connecticut, and it will continue to be a prominent employer in the state.
Change is constant, and it is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
