Packaging Firm Announces Holliston Plant Closure, Layoffs

Consolidation of an Avery Dennison segment acquired by Toronto-based specialty packaging company CCL Industries, Inc. will result in the closure of supply chain operations in Holliston and the majority of its employees will be laid off as of Feb. 1, according to Sean Washchuk, chief financial officer for CCL. The segment, a consumer office products business called Avery, is part of a consolidation of operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico, according to a statement released by the company Oct. 30. The company's other Massachusetts supply chain operations in Chicopee are also slated to close. The consolidation will impact 250 Mass. employees, with only a small group of employees relocating and keeping their jobs, according to Washchuk. He declined to disclose the number of employees located in Holliston. No one answered the phone Monday afternoon at the Holliston location at 89 Cross St.
