VALLEJO – Modular housing manufacturer Harbinger Production, formerly called Factory_OS, announced Friday that the company may close its Vallejo factory and lay off all of its 280 employees later this year, the latest major Solano County employer to announce layoffs.
The company announced the layoffs in a legal notice sent to city, county and state officials Friday morning and obtained by the Vallejo Sun. The notice cites a lack of new business and loss of capital funding. Such notices are required to be sent 60 days prior to a layoff event, though the company could find new business to stay open before the layoffs are planned to begin in April.
In a statement, the company said that the announcement was necessary because of a gap in its production pipeline. “To be clear, Harbinger Homes is not planning to shut its doors. Our team has a deep pipeline of new business opportunities that we’re actively pursuing, and we’re focused on securing a contract before the 60 day period elapses.”…
