Label maker Brook + Whittle filed paperwork with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry late last month stating that 72 jobs will be affected when the facility at 3001 State Road closes on May 25.
The Philadelphia Business Journal reported Brook + Whittle told the news organization the Croydon facility operations will be moved to its Amherst, New York and Northbrook, Illinois facilities.
The 72 employees at the Croydon facility will be able to apply for jobs at other company facilities, the Philadelphia Business Journal reported.

In May 2020, Brook + Whittle purchased Croydon-based Gilbreth Packaging Solutions, a longtime maker of pressure sensitive and shrink sleeve prime labels. The facility makes labels for the consumer and health care markets.
At the time, Brook + Whittle officials said the Croydon facility was a “unique business based on their depth of experience in and knowledge of the shrink sleeve category.”

Brook + Whittle has made several acquisitions in recent years and operates facilities in New England and the Midwest.
Brook + Whittle is owned by Snow Phipps, a private equity firm.
