Libbey Inc. announced temporary changes to its U.S. operations in response to the continued spread of COVID-19 and uncertainty regarding the potential impact on the Company's business demand. In light of the rapidly evolving situation, the Company will temporarily halt production at its Toledo, Ohio, and Shreveport, Louisiana, manufacturing facilities for a minimum of two weeks beginning March 23. As part of the transition, various employees across the U.S. manufacturing facilities will be temporarily laid off. During this timeframe benefits will remain in place. The Company's U.S. distribution network will continue operating with employees reporting to work on a potentially reduced schedule. Libbey will also temporarily close its two outlet retail stores in the U.S. for a minimum of two weeks beginning March 21. At this time, international manufacturing and distribution facilities continue to operate.
