AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT SOLERO TECHNOLOGIES

Rochester Hills, Michigan-based Solero Technologies, an automotive components supplier that designs and manufactures solenoid valves and actuator solutions, has announced the closure of its Shelby, North Carolina, plant by the end of 2026.

The interim reduction in force will impact 102 employees between November 28, 2025, and March 31, 2026.

According to a company spokesperson, “The WARN notice filed on September 29 by Solero for its facility in Shelby, North Carolina, is related to a decision the company made following its acquisition of Netherlands-based Kendrion’s automotive business last October. That acquisition included the Kendrion Automotive facility in Shelby, North Carolina, that currently employs 102 workers. All of the workers at the plant, along with key community stakeholders, were informed last year about the company’s plans to eventually close the facility. At the time, we communicated the need to restructure Shelby’s operations and integrate them into Solero’s existing manufacturing footprint over the next 18 to 24 months. That decision was necessary to align with the evolving needs of Solero in a very competitive market and best position our company for future growth."

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?

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT ROSEBURG FOREST PRODUCTS

Springfield, Oregon-based Roseburg Forest Products, an integrated wood-products company, has announced it will exit the hardwood plywood production market and has ceased hardwood plywood production at its Dillard, Oregon, facility.

The product line adjustment will impact 107 employees.

As per a company statement, "Roseburg Forest Products announced that it has ceased operations at its Dillard Hardwood Plywood facility and will exit the hardwood plywood market. This strategic move reflects the company’s long-term plan to concentrate resources on a more focused product portfolio with sustained customer demand and long-term growth potential.

"While hardwood plywood has been part of Roseburg’s portfolio for decades, the market has shifted significantly, with lower-cost imports now accounting for roughly 80% of the U.S. market. The company’s decision to exit reflects a disciplined approach to long-term competitiveness and product alignment."

“Successful businesses never stand still, and that’s been true for Roseburg for 90 years,” said Stuart Gray, President and CEO. “As we look to the future, we’re sharpening our focus on the products and capabilities that support the best use of our high-quality veneers and fiber, backed by continued investment in operational excellence. That includes our ongoing commitment to core product lines like engineered wood, MDF, lumber, and softwood plywood.”
