“All affected employees have been notified pursuant to WARN concurrent with the issuance of this letter,” the company’s director of external relations wrote in the notice.
As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, a spokesperson for idX released the following statement:
“At UFP we do not make these difficult choices lightly or easily. As a people-first company, concern for our employees is always at the top of our list and we had hoped for a faster economic recovery. Our local team will work with our Dayton team members to relocate as many interested current workers as possible.
Our IDX business is tied closely to the success of the retail market, which has recently reported weak performance. However other sectors IDX serves, like health and architectural features, remain resilient and we are looking forward to doing more of that work as we adjust to current markets.”
The company’s website says they’re the “preeminent designer & manufacturer of consumer environments.”
