AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT RESRG AUTOMOTIVE

Troy, Michigan-based RESRG Automotive, a Tier 1 automotive parts supplier specializing in polymer molding, plating, painting, and finishing for exterior and interior vehicle systems, has announced the closure of its Evansville, Indiana, electroplating facility by December 31, 2026.

The closure will impact 266 employees, including 212 hourly and 54 salaried workers, in five phases, starting in June 2026 and continuing through December 2026.

It is believed that the decision was driven by declining demand for chrome-plated plastic components and by post-merger consolidation following Connecticut-based Atlas Holdings' acquisition of SRG Global and REHAU Automotive.

The company is also discontinuing operations at its Farmington, Missouri, electroplating facility.

A company spokesperson noted, “The difficult decision is not a reflection of the hard work and commitment of RESRG employees.”

Change is constant, and it's 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 PROFRAC SERVICES

Willow Park, Texas-based ProFrac Services, an energy services company that provides hydraulic fracturing and well completion services to oil and gas companies, has announced a mass reduction in force at its Vernal, Utah location.

The reduction in force has affected 157 employees in Vernal, Utah.

According to the company, "These cuts are due to a 'significant downturn in the local market' and 'loss of business revenue.' ProFrac Services will attempt to continue the operation of its facilities by obtaining additional contracts or new business. If these efforts are successful, some employees may be retained or recalled to work.”

The company is responding to market uncertainty and wildly fluctuating oil prices by attempting to cut costs and shore up its finances. ProFrac reduced labor expenses, trimmed overhead by cutting jobs and other costs, and looked for additional ways to run more efficiently while also lowering spending on operations and equipment.
