Plainfield, Indiana — WIT Logistics plans to close its Plainfield warehouse May 31, eliminating 65 jobs and ending operations at the Gateway Drive facility.
According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice dated March 11, 2026, WIT Logistics LLC informed employees that the company will permanently shut down its site at 6032 Gateway Drive in Plainfield. The closure is scheduled to take effect Sunday, May 31, 2026.
The company said the shutdown will result in permanent job losses for all affected employees on or around the closure date. The WARN notice was issued to comply with federal requirements that employers provide advance notification of significant layoffs or plant closings.
Positions listed in the filing include a range of management, administrative, and warehouse roles. Job titles affected include general manager, operations manager, warehouse supervisor, warehouse associates, inventory cycle counters, material handlers, quality technicians, and human resource staff, among others.
The company also stated in the notice that employees will not have bumping or transfer rights, meaning workers will not be able to displace employees at other locations based on seniority.
WARN notices typically provide at least 60 days’ advance notice to workers and local officials when a facility closure or large-scale layoff is expected.
The Plainfield facility sits within the Indianapolis logistics corridor, an area that hosts numerous distribution centers supporting regional shipping and e-commerce operations.
For younger workers or students entering logistics careers, warehouse closures can affect entry-level job availability in fast-growing distribution hubs.
It is not immediately clear whether operations will be consolidated at another WIT Logistics location.
