AE Regional Distribution Co., which distributes products for American Eagle Outfitters, plans to shut down its Massachusetts distribution center in Devens. The closure will result in 103 job losses, according to a Massachusetts Workers Adjustment Retraining Notice submitted to the state on Feb. 11.
- The layoffs at the facility located at 64 Jackson Road are scheduled to take place between April 12 and May 6, the filing states.
The company, previously known as Quiet Logistics, was purchased by American Eagle in 2021 for approximately $360 million. The acquisition was intended to speed up deliveries to retail stores, according to Yahoo Finance. Earlier this year, American Eagle announced it would reduce its accelerated delivery initiative and close its distribution centers.
A company spokesperson said the move is designed to allow AEO to concentrate on growth and its core portfolio of lifestyle brands.
The spokesperson added that Quiet has appreciated its customer partnerships and, when possible, is helping clients transition to alternative providers. The company also acknowledged its employees’ contributions and said it intends to provide support during the transition.
