Thule will lay off 33 employees, the majority of which work in production, at its SportRack facility in Granby, Quebec, Canada. The decision to downsize is due in part to plans to transfer some of the manufacturing of SportRack products to its Seymour, CT, and Chicago, IL, facilities, the company said.
Thule met individually with each of the affected employees today to inform them of the news. In addition to the 8 weeks of notice required by applicable law, Thule is offering exit packages to the employees who stay with the company through the end of the notice period.
SportRack was acquired by Thule in September of this year.
