KGP Logistics has facilities in Warsaw on West Winona Avenue and North Detroit Street.

WARSAW — Officials from KGP Telecommunications, LLC — both at the company’s two Warsaw locations on 3454 N. Detroit St. and 2000 W. Winona Ave. and at corporate headquarters in Faribault, Minn. have still not responded to requests for information regarding a reported upcoming layoff.

However, an attorney representing the company has confirmed the reduction in a letter sent to Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.

Confirming reports from KGP employees who took to social media last week, Matthew R. Drevlow announced in the letter that approximately 300 employees will be part of a reduction in force scheduled for around April 17 or within a two-week time period following that date. Drevlow said the layoffs were due to “a sudden decrease in business from a large customer for Assemble Wire Test work.” Drevlow referred to the reduction as permanent.

He added that the majority of affected workers will be from the Detroit Street facility. “KGP received the initial indication of the business decrease on Feb. 5, 2019, and monitored closely over the subsequent days to determine if it was a temporary decline,” Drevlow said.

Drevlow said the company is not unionized, but added “tenure, along with skill set, performance, attendance and other factors may be taken into consideration as a factor in determining which employees to lay off.”
