Johns Creek, Georgia-based Nichiha, a manufacturer of fiber cement cladding for commercial and residential applications, including siding, wall panels, and roofing, has announced the closure of one of its Macon, Georgia, plants as part of a strategic restructuring.
The closure will impact 171 employees. The plant officially closes on December 5, 2025.
According to the company, “While this decision was extremely difficult, it is necessary to build a stronger foundation for long-term success. Nichiha USA remains committed to being a responsible corporate citizen in Macon-Bibb County for many years to come.”
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, 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?
