Colony Brands to close Janesville facility in March 2027
Colony Brands plans to permanently close its Janesville operations facility by next March, consolidating its food gift packing operations at an existing facility in Sun Prairie. The Monroe-based company disclosed the planned closure of its facility at 200 W. Venture Dr., in an Oct. 30 notice filed with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. The closure, effective March 31, 2027, affects four regular full-time employees and 78 temporary positions. Company officials noted its temporary workforce typically experiences annual layoffs shortly before the holidays. All four full-time employees have been offered positions at its Monroe or Sun Prairie facilities, while temporary workers will also be offered transfer opportunities in 2026 or 2027. In an Oct. 29 letter to employees, the company said its other facilities have sufficient capacity to absorb the work performed in Janesville, allowing it to eliminate the costs of operating a separate location. The Janesville facility has operated for approximately five years.
