Summary
JBT Marel, the owner of a building on Industrial Avenue in Madera, is shutting down operations at that site as part of a merger and efforts to optimize its operational footprint. The closure forces longtime tenant Big Brothers Big Sisters of Madera to relocate and jeopardizes its rent-free space used for youth programs. An employee told Action News that a majority of the staff at the Madera site may be laid off, though the company said its Visalia location will remain open. No specific number or timeline for layoffs was provided in the report, and the company characterized the move as part of a merger-related consolidation.
