HARRISBURG, Pa. — MITER Brands announced plans to lay off 225 workers at its PGT Innovations division in Venice, Fla.

According to a WARN layoff notice filed last week by NewSouth Window Solutions, a subsidiary of MITER Brands, the layoffs will commence Jan. 18, 2025.

PGT Innovations manufactures windows and doors. The company was acquired by MITER Brands earlier this year in a deal valued at $3.1 billion.

PGT Innovations’ Venice plant reportedly employed than 2,000 people prior to the layoffs.

“At MITER Brands, we continuously strive to grow and adapt in an ever-changing market,” the company said in a statement. “Through our close monitoring of current economic conditions, we recently identified the need to reduce the number of team members working in our Venice, FL location to align with the forecasted demand in our core markets. We believe that business is always personal, and for that reason, realigning our workforce is not something our team takes lightly. We have provided affected team members with the information to successfully move forward to the next step in their careers.”
