Manufacturer FXI to close Cornelius facility, laying off nearly 60 workers

CORNELIUS, N.C. — A longtime manufacturer in the Charlotte area is laying off dozens of workers this summer as it plans to close its facility in Cornelius.

Pennsylvania-based FXI says in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification that it will close its plant at 18801 Old Statesville Road by June 20. As a result, about 59 workers will lose their jobs.

The layoffs will begin on a rolling basis on May 22, writes Courtney Damon, chief human resources officer for FXI, in the WARN letter. The closure is expected to be permanent.
