LSC Communications to close
By Melissa Topey The Northern Virginia Daily Jan 14, 2020 Updated 16 hrs ago
LSC Communications on Tuesday announced it was closing its manufacturing facility in Strasburg, impacting hundreds of area residents.
Calls to the local LSC Communications plant, located at the intersection of Front Royal Road and Shenandoah Valley Drive, were not returned Tuesday, but Stefanie Cortes, LSC Communications director of marketing and communications, replied to questions by email.
“It is always difficult to make business decisions that impact our employees and the communities in which we operate, and it has been our privilege to be a part of the Strasburg, VA, community,” Cortes wrote. “We thank everyone who contributed to our work here, and we are committed to supporting employees who are impacted by these closures with severance packages, transition assistance and other potential relocation opportunities within LSC. As always, our top priority is the safety of our employees,” she stated.
In addition to Strasburg, the company plans to close its facilities in Glasgow, Kentucky, and Mattoon, Illinois, according to a another release by the company. The closures of all three locations are expected to be finished by July but a more specific date of closure for the Strasburg location was not provided.
The company noted in the release that the closures “will strengthen the company’s manufacturing platform by reducing costs and improving utilization across LSC production facilities.”
The release states that LSC “has taken actions to strengthen its operational and financial position, including closing eight facilities and reducing its workforce by 2,500 employees” since July when a merger with Quad/Graphics was terminated.
