The remanufacturing supplier’s US-based subsidiary Future Graphics is losing more staff.
Staff from the California headquarters and Virginia division have been let go by the company, and The Recycler understands that MKIC will now be outsourcing their logistics to a third-party logistics provider. The news follows an announcement in December 2014, reporting that 28 staff were made redundant, including its Vice President of Sales, Thomas Spicker, and International Sales Director for South America, Manny Matamoros. On that occasion, six were from the Virginia facility and 20 from its Mexican division.
“This restructuring was an extremely tough decision that will allow MKIC to remain competitive over the coming years,” said Steve Yagi, President and CEO of MKIC. “We are committed to be the world leader in aftermarket supplies and will continue to sell only the finest quality products while providing outstanding service to our customers.”
Future Graphics merged with MKIC, its then parent company, in 2010.
