KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – A manufacturing facility in Loudon County announced just days before Christmas plans to lay off 250 workers.

According to a WARN Notice filed to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, Morgan Olson LLC will permanently lay off 250 workers beginning on Feb. 11, 2025.

Morgan Olson is a manufacturer of walk-in step vans. The company’s website said the company’s expansion into Loudon County “more than doubled our step van manufacturing capability” and “provides meaningful work for over six hundred team members.”

The notice said the facility’s employees are not represented by a collective bargaining agreement.

A rapid response team with the East local Workforce Development Board will be working with the workers and the employer to minimize the impact of the layoffs, the notice said.
