Taylor Corporation is pulling the plug on its Venture Solutions operation in Grove City, Ohio, a move that will wipe out about 60 local jobs and quiet a suburban Columbus hub for customer communications and transactional printing work.
According to Columbus Business First, Venture Solutions, which is a subsidiary of Minnesota-based Taylor, will permanently close the Grove City facility. The outlet reports that the shutdown is part of a broader restructuring inside that particular business unit.
Formal notice and timeline
The company filed an official plant-closing notice with state rapid-response officials on April 22. That notice lists June 22 as the date when all employee separations are expected to be complete. The filing also shows up in national WARN trackers that collect state-level closure notices and confirms the move is a planned permanent closure rather than a temporary pause, according to WARNact.
What Venture Solutions does
The Grove City site handles customer-communications management, transactional printing and secure data services, based on the company’s own location listing. Taylor describes the operation as one piece of a larger customer-communications and document-management network that the company runs in the Midwest, per Taylor.
What the WARN notice means for workers
Under the federal WARN Act, eligible workers are generally owed 60 days’ advance notice when a covered facility is shut down, along with access to rapid-response services and unemployment benefits, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Ohio’s newer “mini-WARN” rules add extra state-level notice requirements for local officials and can affect how plant closures are reported, processed and overseen, as outlined by legal analysts at JD Supra.
Local impact and next steps
The WARN filing and national tracker entries show that roughly 60 positions at the Grove City site are slated for elimination and again list June 22 as the target separation date, according to WARNact. Affected employees can seek unemployment insurance and rapid-response assistance through local job centers, where state and county workforce teams typically coordinate on on-site meetings, career counseling and referrals for retraining programs to help workers land on their feet.
This story will be updated if Taylor or Grove City officials release additional details or a formal statement about the closure. Until then, impacted workers can review the federal WARN guidance and connect with local America’s Job Center resources linked above for help with next steps.
