"We extend our gratitude to our employees for their service and contributions," the spokesperson said. "Decisions impacting our people and their livelihoods are not taken lightly."
A notice of plant closure issued on Aug. 22 said the facility, which is located on 3rd Street in Perrysburg, will close down beginning Dec. 31, 2023. They said the company expected the layoffs to be permanent.
