Genie, the aerial-lift brand owned by Terex, is shutting down its North Bend logistics and parts center, putting 117 local jobs on the line and tightening the company’s West Coast distribution footprint over the coming months.
According to The Seattle Times, Terex filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification on May 21, 2026, stating that the North Bend site is slated to close by the end of November 2026. Layoffs could begin as soon as July 20 if impacted employees are not placed in other roles.
Where the work will go
Company filings indicate that the work handled in North Bend will be shifted to Terex locations in Redmond, Southaven, Mississippi, and Rock Hill, South Carolina. Those sites appear on Genie’s locations page, and Terex corporate documents also highlight the firm’s manufacturing presence in Redmond and Moses Lake.
Timeline and what it means for workers
The WARN filing tied to the closure shows up in national layoff trackers, and WARNScan lists 117 affected workers with a submission date of May 21, 2026. In situations like this, state and local Rapid Response teams and reemployment programs such as WorkSource Washington typically step in to provide job-search assistance, training options, and other support.
Why Terex is reshuffling
The North Bend shutdown follows Terex’s recent merger with REV Group and a broader push to exit the Genie-branded aerial-lift business. It is part of a strategic pivot that industry coverage says will result in Terex selling or spinning off that segment of its operations, as reported by Equipment World.
Local footprint and next steps
Genie has long been embedded in North Bend’s industrial landscape and shows up in city economic records, a reminder of how much a logistics closure can ripple through a small community. Historical details of Genie’s local activity can be found in the city archive via the City of North Bend, while workers are expected to lean on county and state workforce programs for retraining and job placement through WorkSource Washington.
What to watch next
The big dates circled on the calendar are July 20, when the first layoffs could begin, and the end of November, when the logistics hub is scheduled to go dark. Company statements and local responses are likely to ramp up as those deadlines approach, and we will update this story as more details are released.
