â¢Â Signify â still known by many locally as Day-Brite â will shutter its lighting manufacturing facility on Green Street by December, eliminating approximately 135 local jobs.
In a letter sent to Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton and other officials last week, the company said all manufacturing positions in Tupelo will be eliminated. Job cuts are expected to begin in April and be completed by December.
Some other jobs associated with sales, marketing, IT and research and development will remain here in the city, said a company spokesperson.
Manufacturing work previously done in Tupelo will transition to facilities in San Marcos, Texas, and Monterrey, Mexico, according to the same company spokesperson. This includes the DayBrite and Chloride indoor lighting products as well as some research and development.
