The layoffs are slated to take place of a two-week period from July 14-27.
The majority of the affected workers are listed as production and manufacturing positions. The employees are not represented by a union and do not have bumping rights.
The facility is located at 888 West Broadway Street in Three Rivers, which is located about 50 miles northeast of South Bend.
