Brunswick, Ohio-based ARaymond Tinnerman Manufacturing, a manufacturer of fastening and assembly solutions, has announced its intention to close its Flemingsburg, Kentucky, manufacturing plant as part of its restructuring of North American and Canadian operations and to open a new centralized distribution center in Detroit.
The closure will impact 112 employees, in stages starting in April 2026, with complete closure by December 2026.
According to a company statement, “The discontinuation of operations at the plant is primarily due to unfortunate market realities — including capacity utilization, changing customer demands, and operating cost pressures. As a sixth-generation, family-owned business, we deeply regret closing this historic facility given the strong and valued relationships we have built with our employees and the Flemingsburg community We are grateful for the commitment of our team members and the support of the community and its leaders over the years.”
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?
