Great Dane Cancels Planned Mass Layoff at Elysburg Facility
Great Dane has officially rescinded a previously announced mass layoff at its Elysburg, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility, according to a letter distributed to employees dated December 17, 2025.
The company cited a recent increase in trailer orders as the reason for withdrawing the WARN Act mass layoff notice that had originally been issued on December 4, 2025. That layoff had been scheduled to begin on February 2, 2026.
According to the notice, employees at the Elysburg facility will continue their regular at-will employment, and the anticipated workforce reduction will no longer take place.
The decision comes as positive news for local workers and the surrounding community, following weeks of uncertainty after the initial layoff announcement.
Great Dane closed the letter by wishing employees a happy holiday season.
This is a developing local business update. Elysburg Live will continue to share verified information as it becomes available.
