Schwan Cosmetics is closing its facilities in New Jersey, as of April 24th 2015, and relocating to Tennessee. The move will result in the loss of 111 jobs for NJ, according to NJ Biz.
Schwan’s facilities will close in Piscataway. Its new site will be located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and will include Schwan Cosmetics USA’s New Jersey operations as well as the Schwan Cosmetics Cosmolab facility, currently in Lewisburg, Tennessee.
Barbara Bauer-Kropf, Schwan’s executive vice president of sales, said: “Both our New Jersey and Tennessee manufacturing facilities will be consolidated into this 173,000-square-foot high-tech site. The new Schwan Cosmetics USA will be a full-service private-label supplier continuing to build on Schwan Cosmetics’ heritage of developing and introducing innovative, market-driven color cosmetics.”
Approximately twenty-eight percent of employees will also be relocating, to work at the new facility. The company is providing job placement services for workers staying in NJ.
