Tapp Labels Begins Layoffs After Reduced Operations At Vancouver Plant

Tapp Labels is downsizing its Vancouver printing plant with the result that at least 50 employees are being laid off according to sources at the company and internal correspondence obtained by Wine Industry Insight. Specific layoff numbers for each plant location are not available.

 

The actions are expected to be complete by the end of August.

 

Wine Industry Insight emailed Tapp CEO David Bowyer, but received no reply.

 

According to an insider, the actions “reflect necessary consolidations and efficiency adjustments following the past two years of vigorous acquisitions.”

 

While the company site lacks basic information, its LinkedIn profile, says the company has 251-500 employees. Various published reports put that number at 300.

 

The company owns six plants, four on the West Coast: Napa, Livermore, Paso Robles, and Portland OR along with two in Canada: Vancouver and Toronto.
