Providence Rd., north of Media. It is also laying off all employees, including 86 who work in or report to its Media location, according to a layoff notice filed last week to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, as is required by the federal WARN Act. The company expects all layoffs to occur between June 4 and June 30. All employees were notified of the layoff on June 3.<\/p><div><\/div><div><div><div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><p>American Expediting was founded in 1983 by Wharton graduate Victor Finnegan as a one-man courier operation, growing to more than 300 employees across over40 locations. <\/p><div><\/div><p>American Expediting partnered with independent contract drivers, many of whom carried specialized certifications to transport medical and life science materials, including pharmaceuticals, animals, and organ, blood, and tissue shipments. The company also provided air services, distribution and warehousing, facilities and fleet management, and logistics services. <\/p><div><\/div><p>American Expediting was purchased by private equity firm AEA Investors in 2019.<\/p><div><\/div><p>Under the WARN Act, companies are required to give 60 days\u2019 notice before closing or laying off staff. Companies can, however, sidestep the 60-day notification requirement in specific cases, including unforeseeable business circumstances, a caveat cited by American Expediting. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>The company has been \u201coperating in a challenging environment\u201d with \u201creduced healthcare spending and ongoing pressures across the transportation sector,\u201d Katie Petrie, American Expediting\u2019s vice president of human resources, wrote in the notice to the state. <\/p><div><\/div><p>The company in recent months attempted unsuccessfullyto secure funding from an outside investor or lender. American Expediting believed there was a \u201crealistic opportunity\u201d to secure financing and that providing WARN notices while it was seeking funding would have hurt the effort to secure financing, according to the WARN notice. <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=786\">Trump officials lay out aggressive timeline to build triumphal arch<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><p>Representatives from American Expediting did not respond to a phone and email message left on Wednesday. <\/p><div><\/div><p>A notice on American Expediting\u2019s website says the company will complete shipments in its possession as of June 3 and will no longer accept new shipments.
