Schiller Grounds Care has announced the consolidation of its manufacturing operations. Production at its Norfolk, NE, facility has been consolidated into two of Schiller’s existing operations, Johnson Creek, WI, and Southampton, PA.
The Norfolk facility has been leased since the Classen brand was acquired in 2004. Approximately 27 full-time employees are impacted, with several individuals being offered positions to relocate. According to the release from Schiller Grounds Care, the decision to consolidate is in no way a reflection on the work of the Classen employees, nor the talent and pride with which they do it.
The manufacturer hopes the consolidation will help ensure that the performance of Classen products remains what they believe is best-in-class, and that Schiller’s costs are structured in a way that will keep it strong, efficient and competitive in today’s economic environment and into the future.
