Allen Distribution

Allen Distribution, a distribution company in Upper Macungie Township, announced it will be laying off 70 workers in total by the end of the year. The cuts affect the company's warehouse staff near the Kuhnsville Hotel and were reported as part of broader layoffs across Lehigh Valley distribution centers driven by volatility in goods movement, tariffs and supply-chain uncertainty. Local business owners and economic development officials described the impact on the community and noted the layoffs contributed to the region's total of 1,027 announced job cuts this year. Officials expect logistics-sector volatility to calm in mid-next year and said the region overall still has strong employment and hiring activity.
