Longtime Westbury manufacturer and Miami-based technology company announce 60 layoffs on Long Island

A bathroom stall manufacturer and a Miami-based technology company with local employees announced layoffs of a total of 60 employees, according to state records.

Metpar Corp., located at 95 State Street in Westbury, announced late last week that the company will lay off 40 employees at its manufacturing facility and headquarters this fall.

The company said the layoffs were due to the economic situation and would begin on October 31 and last until November 15, according to a notice published by the state on the adaptation and retraining of workers.

Metpar officials did not respond to requests for comment.

Founded in 1952 in Long Island City, Queens, Metpar is one of the oldest continuous manufacturers of restroom partitions with worldwide distribution, according to the company’s website. The company has been headquartered at its Westbury facility since 1956.

WARN, the state’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act, requires businesses with at least 50 full-time employees to provide 90 days’ notice of mass layoffs or closures.

Separately, Reef Technology, a Florida-based service industry technology company, announced plans to lay off employees in Riverhead.

Reef Technology said in its notice to the state that the company would lay off 53 employees statewide, 21 of whom are employed at a facility at 30 Enterprise Zone Dr. in Riverhead.

Representatives of Reef Technology could not be reached by phone for comment and emails to management were returned as undeliverable.

According to the company’s website, Reef supplies businesses such as airport restaurants and convenience stores with self-checkout systems, employee point-of-sale systems and software that helps restaurants keep track of delivery orders from apps such as DoorDash or Grubhub.

According to state documents, the company’s local employees are expected to be laid off on September 30.

The company is also laying off 24 employees in the Bronx and eight in Manhattan.
