Jeld-Wen in Grinnell to close plant, almost 300 to lose jobs
GRINNELL, Iowa (KCRG) – Jeld-Wen, a window and door manufacturing company, is closing its Grinnell plant with 298 people set to lose their jobs.
The company announced Monday the closure will take effect March 21.
In a statement to KCCI, the company says “We value the contributions of our employees and have provided those affected with a competitive separation package and outplacement services to help provide a smooth transition. While decisions that impact people are never easy, we make them only after careful consideration and with the understanding that our actions today are necessary to position JELD-WEN for long-term success.”
The company also laid off more than 150 workers at the same plant in October 2024.
Jeld-Wen officials went on to say, “While these decisions are difficult, we are taking steps to simplify and strengthen the company, and meet future demand against current labor force, which includes optimizing our operations network to better compete in the market we serve.”
