United Forest Products closing Bonner facility, 100-worker layoff
A building materials facility east of Missoula will lay off about 100 employees when it closes in September, the company announced Monday.
UFP Edge, located in the Bonner Industrial Park, will close Sept. 27, Abby Mitch, the Michigan-based company’s senior manager of communications, told Montana Free Press.
“This is not an easy decision,” Mitch said in a statement. “We wish this facility had worked out. Montanans’ grit and perseverance are among our core values at UFP Industries. We spent five years working together to make it work, but big-picture realities beyond our control made consolidation unavoidable. We have committed to our Bonner employees that we will prioritize internal candidates for open positions across the UFP family of companies.”
