Powers & Sons to lay off 53 at Montpelier plant on Dec. 7
Power and Sons, LLC has filed a layoff notice with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services indicating that 53 workers at its Montpelier plant will be laid off on December 7. The notice cites a decline in demand for the company’s product or service and describes the action as a layoff rather than a full plant closure. The company says it is seeking new work that could allow recall or hiring of additional staff, but it does not indicate severance information.
What happened
Powers & Sons, LLC notified state officials of a mass layoff at its Montpelier, Ohio plant, effective December 7. A four-page notice lists a decline in demand as the reason and classifies the action as a layoff, not a plant closure. All 53 workers at the 1613 Magda Drive facility would be affected on the same day.
Who is affected
The 53 workers at the Montpelier plant are directly affected. The notice does not specify job titles or departments. It also mentions the company is seeking new work that could lead to recalls or new hires, which could influence future staffing decisions for some workers.
Practical next steps
For workers: review any communications from the company and file for unemployment benefits if eligible. Consider updating job-search materials and checking local employment resources. For the community: monitor updates from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services or local news for changes to the layoff status or potential new contracts that could restore work. For the company: the notice indicates efforts to secure new work; confirming severance details or recall plans would help affected employees plan more reliably.
