NEWNAN, Ga. — Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation in Newnan announced a partnership with DHL Supply Chain to enhance its distribution operations starting Oct. 5, a move that will result in the company losing more than 100 workers.
A WARN (or Workers’ Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) filing with the state of Georgia dated July 30 stated 160 employees are impacted, most, but not all, of whom will be offered similar roles with DHL.
A news release from YMMC states the Yamaha team members that will transition to the DHL team will continue supporting distribution operations on-site.
Yamaha said the partnership aims to expand its capacity, improve logistics transparency and accelerate delivery to customers without disrupting current service levels.
