Delta Faucet Company announced yesterday another piece of the local factory’s workload would be moved South, reducing the workforce by another 40 employees.
According to Paula Warner, company spokesperson, Delta Faucet Company, Delta would “consolidate its machining activities from two operations into one.” The machining department will move to the facility in Jackson, Tenn. The phase-out is expected to take up to three months, and will eliminate 40 jobs. The latest reduction will bring the total number of employees still at the Greensburg facility to 160.
“Delta Faucet has a talented and dedicated workforce. Addressing difficult market conditions is always challenging, especially when people’s lives are affected,” Warner said. “This move while unfortunate is necessary to bring staffing in line with demand and will help the company remain competitive.”
Warner noted the affected employees will receive the same consideration as those who lost their jobs during the mass reduction that saw most production work, including assembly and plating, move to Tennessee.
“Similar incentives are being offered to affected employees. A retirement incentive is being offered to those who meet certain eligibility criteria,” Warner noted. “Displaced employees not receiving the retirement incentive who remain productive until their assigned release date will have the opportunity to receive a completion bonus.”
The Greensburg facility will remain open for those 160 employees involved in finishing work, such as loading and unloading parts from finishing racks; hand-buffing; receiving and inspection. Warner said investments in the facility have and its processes will keep the doors open in Greensburg for the remaining employees.
“In recent years, we’ve invested in a variety of exclusive finishes and technologies that are produced at Greensburg. These processes and the people who oversee them ensure we have the capacity to meet current and future demand for our products,” Warner said.
