Nearly 200 employees of a global company that provides operational and maintenance services for airports and industrial customers will be laid off in April from their jobs at Amazon fulfillment centers in Colorado Springs and Thornton and a sortation center in Aurora.
Daifuku Services America Corp. of suburban Dallas notified the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment on Thursday of the layoffs, which will take effect April 22. Daifuku Services is part of the Japan-based Daifuku corporation, whose businesses include consulting, engineering and design work in Asia, Europe and North America, according to its website.
Details of the layoffs were included in Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letters that Daifuku filed with the state agency — a federal requirement for employers when they plan mass layoffs.
