Third-party logistics provider DHL Supply Chain is detailing plans for a layoff at a facility in Hendricks County. In a notice to the state, the company said 170 workers in Clayton would be impacted.
In a statement provided to Inside INdiana Business, DHL Supply Chain said it was recently informed of a decision by an unnamed customer to restructure its operations, which includes transitioning business to a new third-party logistics provider.
The facility is located at 10566 Gateway Point in Clayton. The layoffs are set to take place on Aug. 1 and expected to be permanent.
“We sincerely value the commitment our associates have made to the success of the business over the years,” the company said in the statement. “We notified our associates of this change in April, and we will work with them to determine opportunities to continue their career as valued team members of DHL Supply Chain.”
In its Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) made to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, the company said it would provide COBRA benefits to the affected workers.
The employees are not represented by a union and do not have bumping rights.
WARN notices are required to be made to the state within 60 days of a mass layoff or facility closure.
DHL Supply Chain also has locations in Franklin, Mooresville, Whitestown and Whiteland. In January 2023, the company announced it was investing $120 million in the Whiteland location and creating up to 676 jobs.
