KENTWOOD, Mich. (WOOD) - Steelcase will cut 400 jobs in West Michigan over the next 18 months, company officials announced Wednesday morning.
Officials say 750 jobs will be cut nationwide. Plants in Ontario, Canada and Grand Prairie, Texas will also lose jobs. Some of the work will move to Mexico, as well as a plant in Alabama.
But the bulk of those cuts will come from the closing of the Steelcase East plant located on 52nd Street in Kentwood.
"I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it when he called me," said Sue, the wife of a worker at the Kentwood East facility, after her husband phoned her Wednesday morning. She asked that we only use her first name to protect her husband's identity.
He works on the chair assembly line, she said, and has been with Steelcase for nearly 35 years.
"This is the only thing he has done in his whole life. Right out of high school [and] into Steelcase," Sue said. "What in the world are we going to do?"
