60 to lose jobs in Leominster printing company shutdown
LEOMINSTER ― A printing plant on Nashua Street will shut down its operations next month after 13 years in business, costing 60 employees their jobs.
Known for its worldwide printing and packaging operations, Wisconsin-based Quad/Graphics Inc. plans to move all of its printing presses from Leominster to locations in Franklin, Wisconsin and Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The Leominster location will close April 29, according to a statement from the company.
More than 200 people lost their jobs when another Quad location closed last month in California.
The company promised to offer employees at the Leominster site a separation package that includes assistance through from a career counseling company.
Quad also said it would provide incentives for some employees to relocate to Spartanburg or Franklin.
The Leominster site at 27 Nashua St. is a 95,000-square-foot building, where Quad has operated since July 2010.
Quad has about 45 plants around the world, employing a total of 15,000 people.
