Upstate business to lay off over a hundred employees

May 9, 2026 - 03:52

A company based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, has notified state officials that it will cut more than 100 jobs this summer. The layoffs are expected to take effect in late July, according to a filing with the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce.

The affected employees work at a facility in Spartanburg County. The business cited economic conditions and a shift in operational needs as reasons for the reduction. Workers will receive severance packages and transition assistance, the company said in its notice.

The layoffs represent a significant blow to the local workforce in a region that has seen steady manufacturing and logistics growth in recent years. Spartanburg County is home to several major industrial employers, including automotive and distribution centers. While the company did not name specific market pressures, the move aligns with broader trends of cost-cutting across certain sectors.

Local workforce officials said they will provide reemployment services to the displaced workers. The state's rapid response team plans to host job fairs and skills training sessions in the coming weeks. The company has not indicated whether further cuts are expected later this year.
