Alpine, AL – Nearly 100 workers at a Talladega County manufacturing facility are expected to lose their jobs later this spring as a major forest products company prepares to reduce operations in Alpine.
According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filing reported by workforce tracking sources, Resolve Forest Products plans to lay off 93 employees at its Alpine facility on Sunday, May 24, 2026. The filing indicates the workforce reduction will affect employees working at the company’s paper and forest products operation in the community.
Resolve Forest Products operates several pulp, paper and tissue manufacturing facilities across North America. The Alpine site has long been a regional employer connected to Alabama’s timber and paper manufacturing sector, which supports thousands of jobs statewide through logging, transportation and mill production.
Details surrounding the reason for the layoffs were not immediately specified in the notice. WARN filings are typically required when companies plan significant layoffs or plant closures, giving workers and local officials advance notice to prepare for employment disruptions and economic impacts.
The WARN Act requires employers with 100 or more workers to provide at least 60 days’ notice ahead of large-scale layoffs. Such notices help affected workers access unemployment assistance, retraining programs and job placement services.
Local workforce agencies and economic development officials often work with impacted employees to identify new opportunities within nearby industries, particularly manufacturing, logistics and forestry-related operations that remain active throughout Alabama.
Resolve Forest Products has historically produced a variety of pulp and paper products used in packaging, printing and tissue manufacturing. The Alpine operation has been part of the region’s industrial base for decades, supporting jobs both inside the facility and within the surrounding timber supply chain.
Additional details about the planned layoffs, including whether the reduction is temporary or permanent, may become available as the effective date approaches.
