Xerox will close Lewiston call center, eliminating 142 jobs

The closing of a Xerox call center in Lewiston will lead to the layoff of 142 employees by the end of October.

CoCo Salazar, corporate communications manager at Xerox, issued the following statement on the closure affecting the Fortune 500 company:

“Due to the scheduled conclusion of a contract for the services supported by our Lewiston operations, we are making the necessary yet difficult decision to close the facility,” the statement said. “We realize this affects individuals and every effort is being made to ensure that all employees are treated fairly. This decision impacts one specific business unit and is not associated with Xerox’s previously announced decision to separate into two independent companies.”

Xerox (NYSE: XRX), which is based in Norwalk, Conn., has 131,800 employees worldwide. It had sales of $18 billion last year, down from $19.5 billion the year before.
