Major weapons manufacturer to lay off over 60 Mass. employees this summer
Lockheed Martin will lay off 64 employees from its Andover facility this summer, per a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notice. The WARN report for the week of May 9 states that the layoffs will take effect no later than July 5. According to a report from Boston Business Journal, the layoffs will primarily impact team members in engineering and product operations and quality. A representative for the Maryland-based weapons and aerospace manufacturer told the journal that the decision was 'part of an annual business review,' but did not elaborate on the reasons behind the cuts. The Andover facility on Dascomb Road is one of Lockheed Martin's Missiles and Fire Control locations. According to the company's website, the building is the 'official home and single site' for developing, testing, and producing the company's GridStar Flow Battery project. Of the 10 Missiles and Fire Control locations listed on the company's website, only two are in Massachusetts. The second location, in Chelmsford, employs 350 people and was not mentioned in the WARN report. The news marks another round of major layoffs impacting Andover workers this summer; the Wilmington-based company Symbotic LLC will also lay off 400 employees from its Andover facility by the end of June.
