EveryWare Global, Inc.
("EveryWare") EVRY, a global leader in the consumer tabletop and
foodservice markets, announced today that it plans to close its regional
office in Oneida, N.Y., as part of its ongoing integration of the Oneida
business. A smaller satellite office in Melville, New York, also will be
closed.
Certain functional and administrative roles now based at the Oneida regional
office will gradually be relocated to the company's headquarters in central
Ohio, as will certain roles based in Melville. The changes will take place in
several phases beginning in April with full completion scheduled in 2015.
"This is a difficult but necessary decision as we work to complete the full
integration of the Oneida business into EveryWare," said John Sheppard,
EveryWare Chief Executive Officer. "This move will enable us to achieve the
greater efficiencies and synergy of having all of our key business, functional
and administrative positions in a single North American location."
EveryWare is providing affected associates with severance and other support.
The Company intends to divest the Oneida office building, located at 163
Kenwood Ave.
Mr. Sheppard continued, "We are extremely proud of the rich history we have
built with the town of Oneida and we want to thank the local community and all
of our employees for their time and dedication in helping make Oneida into the
iconic brand name that it is today. We remain dedicated to continuing the
brand's legacy and are excited for the opportunities ahead."
