Goss Graphic Systems Inc. announced June 4 that it is laying off approximately 25 percent of the staff at its headquarters in Westmont, Ill.

It is the second round of layoffs for the press manufacturer in the last four months, and the third round in the last 18 months.

Goss will also realign the remaining staff at its headquarters. The company did not state how many jobs will ultimately be affected.

Goss President Richard Sutis, who replaced James Sheehan, said the move was made to simplify the process flow associated with manufacturing and customer service, adding that the layoffs “reflect both improved practices and a shift in product mix.”

The layoffs are one of several major moves made by the company since it emerged from bankruptcy in late 1999.

Sheehan stepped aside as president and chief executive officer on April 18, but remained as chairman. On June 1, he resigned as chairman and was replaced by Thomas Cochill.

In February, Goss laid off 150 employees at its manufacturing facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. At the end of 1999, the company closed its manufacturing facility in Reading, Pa., which affected more than 145 employees, some of whom were rehired at the Cedar Rapids facility.
