Closure Comes Amid Stauffer's Plans to Optimize Operations and Efficiency

As part of an effort to optimize manufacturing operations and efficiencies, D.F. Stauffer Biscuit Co., Inc. announced Thursday that it will close its Cuba, NY manufacturing facility at the end of 2017, consolidating its manufacturing into its higher production facilities located in York, PA, and Santa Ana, CA.
Employees at the Cuba, NY facility are being given the opportunity to transfer to Stauffer's manufacturing facilities in PA and CA.
When contacted by WRN, company officials said they would not comment further on the topic, saying the press release was sufficient. The company also would not say how many employees were affected. The company did say, however, that it was in full compliance with New York's WARN requirements. Steven Havey is with the Greater Allegany County Chamber of Commerce. He called the news "very disappointing" adding that he hoped the company would reconsider the decision.
