Former Jarden employees head to Florida
Jarden Consumer Solutions, which has shuttered its operations in Milford, will send 20 of its former Bay State employees to Florida, the Palm Beach Post reports.
Jarden will add 100 workers to its Boca Raton operations, with an average pay of $75,000 in the marketing, management, finance, and engineering departments. Out of the 150 Mass. employees who were offered jobs at the company's Florida site, only 20 agreed to the move. Layoffs began in January.
Jarden Corp. closed its facility at Industrial Way, laying off 212 employees. The 345,000 square foot site is the former headquarters, warehouse and distribution center for The Holmes Group, which Jarden bought last year. In 1999, Milford awarded The Holmes Group a 12-year tax-increment financing agreement.
The company designs and sells fans, heaters, humidifiers and other consumer products, manufactured in Asia, to retailers.
