Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada-based NFI Group, a manufacturer of transit buses and motorcoaches and parent of Nappanee, Indiana-based Alexander Dennis Limited, has confirmed the previously announced closure of its two ADI Indiana facilities located in Nappanee and Peru, Indiana. The two facilities produce bus sub-assemblies and provide for the final assembly of buses for the North American market. Operations will be transferred to the company's other facilities.
The closure will impact 192 employees and is scheduled to occur between February 4, 2022, and May 6, 2022.
According to a company statement, “After a thorough review of our North American manufacturing locations, we have determined that rationalizing our ADI North American manufacturing locations is the required approach moving forward. As it is never easy to close locations and impact individuals’ careers, this important decision was not taken lightly. This integration, however, continues us on the necessary path for NFI as we execute our plan of transforming our organization into a more cost-efficient, integrated operating business.”
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?
