LIVINGSTON, SCOTLAND -- Jabil Circuit will close its EMS plant here by year end and lay off more than 150 workers, the company said.
The company told a local paper that a “detailed strategic review ... concluded that there is unsustainable current and future demand to support the viability of the site. It is anticipated that manufacturing will cease by the end of calendar year 2017."
About 100 of the 260 workers at the site will remain to help shut down the plant.
Jabil also has a factory in Ayr, Scotland. That plant will remain open, the report said.
