Harbinger Production Announces Mass Layoffs Amid Slow Business
Harbinger Production Inc. has notified the California Employment Development Department about planned layoffs. The housing manufacturer company based in Vallejo is going to cut a large number of employees at its manufacturing facility. The notification was filed on February 12, 2026, under the state and federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) laws.
Economic pressures, including a lack of new business contracts and the loss of expected capital funding, were cited as the reasons for the layoffs. Harbinger stated that these financial challenges have reduced production demand and strained its ability to sustain its current staffing levels.
The layoffs will begin on April 13, 2026, and are expected to be completed by June 30, 2026. Most employees are leaving between April 13 and April 30.
The company is working with the Solano County Workforce Development Board to offer job placement help, retraining, and other support services. Employees will receive more details within 30 days.
Plant Workers, Engineers, and Senior Leaders Impacted
The layoffs cover workers across the company, from the factory floor to top leadership. Most of those affected are in production roles, including
- 82 lead production workers
- 33 production workers I
- 52 production worker II
- 62 production workers III
- 23 production worker trainees
The cuts also include four production supervisors and one material handler supervisor. Executive and management positions are also being eliminated, including the CEO, CFO, president/chief client officer, general manager, and several VPs.
Office and support roles in accounting, procurement, marketing, human resources, IT, engineering, quality control, and warehouse operations are part of the layoffs as well. Both union and non-union employees are affected, with union workers represented by Nor Cal Carpenters Union Local 180.
The layoffs will affect hundreds of workers and mark a major change for the Vallejo facility. Local workforce agencies are expected to help employees as they look for new jobs.
