MUSKEGON, Mich. — A Muskegon manufacturing company is set to permanently close its doors this spring, putting 145 workers out of a job.
Pace Industries, LLC filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, known as a WARN notice, with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity on Feb. 24, citing a company restructuring as the reason for the closure.
The company's two Muskegon facilities, located at 2121 Latimer Drive and 2350 Black Creek Road, are expected to close on April 25, 2026.
The affected positions span across nearly every level of the operation, from floor workers like die cast operators and general operators, to supervisors, engineers, HR staff and plant management.
Pace Industries is headquartered in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Michigan law requires employers to file WARN notices at least 60 days before a mass layoff or facility closure affecting 25 or more workers.
