ACCO Brands Corp. will shutter its 100,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Pleasant Prairie at 10303 80th Ave. early next year.
The facility employed up to 150 workers as recently as last year. However, the company made cuts in early 2007 and this August, when it laid off 75 employees from its General Binding Corp. division.
The remaining 30 workers were told about the closure last week, said ACCO spokesman Rich Nelson.
"We are consolidating what we do there in some of our other facilities in East Texas, Pennsylvania and Wheeling, Ill.," he said.
At least five of ACCO's employees have already been reassigned to positions in Wheeling, Nelson said, and the company is looking for other available positions for employees from Pleasant Prairie. Some of the company's employees from the August and 2007 layoffs were relocated to Wheeling, he said.
Lincolnshire, Ill.-based ACCO Brands is one of the world's largest suppliers of branded office products.
