Newnan is losing another production employer, as a local foam-manufacturing plant prepares to shut down and cut 102 jobs, hitting workers across multiple shifts and sending a jolt through families and suppliers that depend on those paychecks. The company announced the closure Wednesday, and for many the impact is direct and immediate.
According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Elite Comfort Solutions is consolidating its Newnan operations, with about 102 positions expected to be eliminated as production is pulled out of the city. The outlet reports the cuts are tied to a broader company move to concentrate manufacturing elsewhere.
Company footprint in Newnan
Elite Comfort Solutions describes itself as a supplier of specialty foam and fabrication for bedding and home-goods manufacturers, and it lists Newnan among its operating locations on its own site. The Elite Comfort Solutions page details the company’s foam manufacturing work, while public records and safety filings confirm a Newnan facility.
OSHA inspection records list the Elite Comfort Solutions operation at 24 Herring Road in Newnan, documenting the plant’s official footprint in federal workplace-safety filings.
Local context and past layoffs
The shutdown lands in a community already familiar with big industrial shakeups. The Atlanta Journal‑Constitution reported that meal-kit giant HelloFresh closed a Newnan distribution center in 2024, cutting hundreds of jobs and underscoring how vulnerable the area can be when corporate consolidation hits.
County and state WARN trackers also show periodic filings as manufacturers adjust capacity in Coweta County. The WARN Tracker listings for Newnan compile those official notices, offering a running log of recent job-loss events in the city.
What workers can expect
Under federal and state rules, employers with 100 or more employees generally must give 60 days’ notice for plant closings or mass layoffs under the WARN Act. The Georgia Department of Labor outlines how that is supposed to work and what support is available when pink slips start to land.
The Georgia Department of Labor employer handbook explains the WARN notice requirements and describes local assistance options for displaced workers, including job-center resources and retraining programs designed to help people move into new roles.
Next steps for workers and the county
Coweta County and local workforce agencies typically respond to manufacturing closures with rapid-response meetings, targeted job fairs and retraining opportunities once official notices are filed. For workers at Elite Comfort Solutions, those efforts are likely to be the first line of support as the shutdown unfolds.
Affected employees are encouraged to check with the Newnan‑Coweta Chamber and county job centers for the latest information on assistance, event schedules and key contacts. Those local pages are the primary starting points for navigating services in the wake of this latest plant closure.
