MENASHA (WLUK) – ORBIS Corp. will close its Menasha facility, putting 109 people out of work, according to a notice filed with the state.

ORBIS will consolidate operations performed the Menasha facility, 1328 Earl Street, into a new facility in Texas, which will result in the closure of the Menasha plan, wrote Angie Olson, vice president of human resources, in a letter to the Dept. of Workforce Development.

Terminations will begin on or about March 16, and will occur in phases as production winds down. Some workers may be offered positions at other ORBIS or Menasha Packaging Company locations in the valley, Olson said.

The company website offers this description of its operations: “ORBIS believes there is a better way to optimize today’s supply chains, with reusable packaging products and services. Reusable containers, pallets, dunnage, bulk systems and metal racks improve the flow of product within the supply chain to reduce costs, enhance profitability and add sustainability. With the power of Menasha Corporation, we’ve got your entire supply chain covered. Our sister division, Menasha Packaging, is the largest, independent North American manufacturer of packaging, display merchandising, and signage. Collectively, we help customers protect, move, and promote their products better than anyone.”
