The facility, located on Wolf Creek Pike, will remain open, with reduced operations.

In a statement to News Center 7, a Beontag spokesperson said the decision involves temporarily pausing its coating and lamination operations at the Trotwood site and transitioning that production to facilities in Cayahoga Falls and Terre Haute, Indiana.

Its U.S. headquarters, RFID operations, and R&D functions will remain fully operational in Trotwood.

“This decision allows us to align our operations with current market demand, while maintaining the flexibility to scale production back up in the future,” the spokesperson said.

Layoffs are expected to begin on May 24, according to the notice.
