A plastics manufacturer says it is closing its facility near Auburn.

Berry Global – now called Amcor, after a recent merger – is laying off 112 employees, according to a recent notice filed with the state.

The Indiana-based company is closing its facility in Lanett on July 1, a spokesperson said in an email to AL.com.

“Production will be integrated into existing facilities,” the spokesperson said. “We are grateful for our Lanett employees’ service and dedication and will assist them in exploring other opportunities within our organization and the Lanett community.”

The company said it announced the closure on April 29.

The next day, Amcor, a German health care packaging company, completed its $8.4 billion merger with Berry Global.

An Amcor spokesperson blamed the closure on “changing market conditions.”

The company has more than 240 facilities around the world, including one other Alabama manufacturing facility, in Montgomery.

Federal law requires large employers to file a public WARN notice with the state in advance of mass layoffs or plant closures. Those WARN notices are published by the Alabama Department of Commerce.

The expected job cuts bring Alabama’s tally of employees impacted by mass layoffs and closures in 2025 to more than 2,500 – already surpassing the count for last year.

In the last few months, Grede LLC announced plans to shut down operations at its Alabama manufacturing plant after 50 years, laying off 220 employees. Steel producer Nucor Buildings Group closed its plant in Eufaula, laying off 79 workers and sending the production to Texas. And AlaTrade Foods reportedly laid off 165 workers at its poultry processing plant in Phenix City.
