A mail processing and logistics contractor for the U.S. Postal Service that filed for bankruptcy protection last year said it soon will close its Long Beach facility, resulting in 257 layoffs.
In a Sept. 14 letter to the state Employment Development Department, Sacramento-based Matheson Flight Extenders said the staffing cuts at 2400 E. Artesia Blvd. are expected to happen by Nov. 13, although that timeline could be extended.
“The planned layoff is expected to be permanent,” Marcos Kropf, an attorney for the company, said in the EDD notice. “We expect the site to close permanently.”
Matheson provides ground handling operations, aircraft ground support, terminal handling and transportation logistics for flight operations.
