Sinomax East Inc. has filed a WARN notice announcing layoffs affecting more than 80 employees. The notice, however, does not state the reason behind the layoff of the employees.
Sinomax East, Inc. to Lay Off 89 Employees in Houston
According to a WARN notice filing by Sinomax East Inc., the company is laying off 89 employees. The notice was filed on March 26, 2026, under the state’s WARN Act. The filing lists only the company’s name, address, and the number of affected employees.
The WARN notice does not mention any union name or address. This may indicate that the affected employees were not part of a union and will not have bumping rights. The notice provides an advanced warning to the affected employees to smooth the transition.
Reason Behind the Layoff
The WARN notice does not specify the reason for the layoffs. A report from FurnitureToday dated August 25, 2025, noted that Sinomax USA is relocating its Houston headquarters to a new space. The move reduces its headquarters footprint from 9,300 square feet to 4,000 square feet.
This reduction is expected to lower leasing costs. The relocation comes as the company adjusts its operations, though the filing does not link the move to the layoffs.
