WARN
3M COMPANY
The State Rapid Response Team (SRRT) received a Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101 et seq. ("WARN") email from 3M Company informing us of the facility closure, and permanent layoff of approximately 62 employees at the following location:
710 N. State St., Fairmont, MN 56031
This year marked 80 years of operation in Fairmont (1946-2026). I had several projects in Fairmont in the 1990s and early 2000s. Great people overall and maintenance seemed to pride themselves on being able to machine or modify anything needed to keep a project on schedule. Sad to see it go. Good luck to all affected.
They hated being referred to as “a small plant”. Great facility, sad to see it close.
Fairmont closing has been discussed in numerous posts on this site since January. It was also reported on TV news and in numerous newspapers. This was around the same time the Detroit closure was announced.
Well thats good they were notified... not all of us are privy to this information. WARN notice came out today.
This is old news. Affected employees were notified of the plant closure back in January.
