Customized Distribution LLC filed a notice May 30 with state officials under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act that it was closing its Jacksonville facility and laying off 107 employees.
Known as CDI, the company is a Norcross, Georgia-based company that provides logistics and distribution services for the quick service restaurant industry, according to its website.
Besides Jacksonville, it has warehouses in Atlanta and Jackson, Mississippi, and serves customers in 13 states.
“More advance notice was not practicable or foreseeable, as CDI has been engaged in efforts on multiple fronts to obtain a business solution to avoid this outcome,” the company said in its WARN letter.
“CDI has faced challenging market conditions, including the loss of business from customers in breach of their distribution agreements with CDI,” it said.
The company has been pursuing new business but “CDI has very recently learned that it did not succeed in obtaining a new customer account that likely would have allowed CDI to avoid taking this action,” the letter said.
CDI said it plans to wind down operations at its Northwest Jacksonville facility at 5545 Shawland Road and permanently lay off substantially all employees between July 29 and Aug. 5.
