Plexus Lays off 116 at Fox Valley Site
Neenah - Contract electronics manufacturer Plexus Corp. has laid off 116 employees in the Appleton area.
Half of the layoffs are full-time salaried employees and half are temporary workers.
Plexus reported strong third-quarter earnings last week. But the company made the layoffs this week in response to a decrease in customer orders.
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Ginger Jones tells the Post-Crescent that, while the layoffs are unfortunate, they are "a small percentage" of the company's head count in the Fox Cities.
Jones says the local overall workforce is about 2,000. The layoffs were at one of the company's two sites in the Appleton area, but Jones did not specify which.
The layoff did not require the company to file a notice with the state Department of Workforce Development.
