GXO Logistics Supply Chain will permanently lay off 211 employees at its facility in Memphis, Tennessee, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice dated Jan. 10.
Layoffs at the Imagination Drive facility are expected to begin on March 6, with separations completed by April 27, according to the notice.
“We’re ending operations with one of our customers in the Memphis, [Tennessee] area,” a GXO spokesperson told Supply Chain Dive in an email. “As a result, impacted employees will have the opportunity to apply for open roles and transfer to nearby GXO sites that serve other customers.”
The logistics company has reduced its operational footprint over the last two years.
In October 2022, GXO said it would shutter two facilities in Texas servicing Pepsi. Later in February 2023, the company closed a facility in Wisconsin, laying off 144 employees. That same month, GXO cut 85 workers after ceasing operations at a facility in Indiana.
