Pitney Bowes Inc. in Stamford has officially notified Ohio it will shut down its Miamisburg operations, putting about 75 people out of work, the Dayton Business Journal reports.
The first round of layoffs is slated to start in May and the facility will be closed by Sept. 30, according to the notice, DBJ reports on its Web site.
Pitney Bowes manufactures mail processing equipment and provides related business solutions.
In January, the company said it was shuttering the local site, outsourcing some of the work to a third-party logistics company and moving the rest to a Pitney Bowes (NYSE: PBI) facility near Indianapolis.
Company officials said workers have been offered the chance to relocate to the Indiana site.
Pitney Bowes said it will be looking to sell one of the three buildings in Miamisburg, which total 170,000 square feet of space. Two of the buildings were leased by the company, but one 90,000-square-foot building is owned by the company and is being placed on the market.
The Miamisburg operation is a logistics and distribution facility supporting its parts and supplies business, as well as some finished goods shipping and receiving.
The move is part of an overall streamlining of our U.S. supply chain operations, which includes consolidating into a smaller number of national centers and using third-party logistics providers, officials said.
