Edwardsville, IL – A major workforce reduction is set to impact the Metro East region this summer, as a logistics company plans to cut more than 150 jobs at a local facility.
According to a WARN notice filing, DSV Contract Logistics, LLC will lay off 163 employees at its site located at 3051 Gateway Commerce Center Drive South in Edwardsville. The layoffs are scheduled to take effect on Monday, June 22, 2026, and are expected to affect workers across multiple roles within the operation.
The facility sits within the Gateway Commerce Center in Madison County, a major logistics hub serving the greater St. Louis metro area. The job cuts represent a significant shift for the site, which has been part of the region’s growing distribution and supply chain network.
It remains unclear what specific factors led to the reduction, though WARN notices are typically required when companies anticipate large-scale layoffs or closures. The filing did not specify whether the layoffs are permanent or if any employees may be reassigned within the company.
Local officials have not yet announced any response or support measures for affected workers. The layoffs could have ripple effects across Edwardsville and surrounding communities, where logistics and warehouse jobs play a key role in the local economy.
Employees impacted by the cuts may be eligible for unemployment benefits and workforce assistance programs through the state of Illinois.
This marks one of the larger recent job reduction notices in the Metro East area, raising concerns about stability within the regional logistics sector heading into the summer months.
