Revlon to Shutter Jacksonville Manufacturing Plant, Cutting 127 Beauty Sector Jobs

THE WHAT? Revlon has announced the permanent closure of its Jacksonville, Florida, manufacturing facility, resulting in 127 layoffs, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letter submitted to the Florida Department of Commerce. Layoffs will begin on July 18 and roll out over three months.

THE DETAILS The closure of the Overmyer Drive facility is part of Revlon’s stated plan to “streamline business operations to ensure long-term sustainability.” This move follows a wave of local job cuts, notably C&S Wholesale Services’ recent announcement of 490 layoffs at its Baldwin distribution center. While the combined job losses are significant, economists note that, in a metropolitan area of over 1 million residents, the broader local economy is unlikely to face major disruption — though the impacted workers may face prolonged job searches or potential career shifts.

THE WHY?  Revlon’s decision reflects ongoing restructuring efforts across the beauty and personal care sector, where legacy brands continue to adapt to changing market dynamics, consumer preferences, and cost pressures. As the company works to reposition itself for long-term viability, the manufacturing cuts highlight the tension between corporate streamlining strategies and the direct impact on local employment in regions tied to beauty product production. For the beauty industry, it’s another sign of how operational recalibration is reshaping the employment landscape behind the scenes.
