Kinze Lays Off 53 Workers

Kinze Manufacturing, Inc., is laying off 53 employees from its operation in Williamsburg, the company confirmed January 15.

In the announcement, the company cited ongoing economic challenges in the agricultural sector.

The January layoffs, which impact 53 of its 550 employees in Williamsburg, come after nearly 200 employees were laid off there in August 2024.

“Kinze has a fantastic workforce and this was an incredibly difficult decision,” said Susanne Veatch, President of Kinze. “Unfortunately, the continued downturn in the agricultural market necessitated this workforce adjustment.”
