Fairfax, Virginia-based Custom Ink, an online retail company that manufactures personalized clothing and advertising specialties, has announced the closure of its Reno, Nevada, and Charlottesville. Virginia production facilities.
The closures will impact 338 employees, including 206 production workers in Charlottesville and 132 employees at the Reno facility.
According to a company spokesperson, “Due to rising costs and increasingly tight markets for production talent, Custom Ink has decided to close our production sites in Reno, Nevada and Charlottesville, Virginia, and consolidate in-house production in our Dallas, Texas facility.”
“This difficult step will support the continued growth and profitability of the business and ultimately help Custom Ink do a better job for customers, team members, and the communities we touch.”
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?
