Pelco Shutting Down Clovis Line, Laying Off 200

Author: Brian Karas, Published on May 22, 2017

Pelco's Clovis facility once turned out some of the industry's most popular products. Now, the facility is mostly building "obsolete" equipment, and the company is in the process of shutting down its once famous manufacturing line there, laying off 200 employees in the process.

This layoff comes just under a year since Pelco's previous layoff of 43 in June 2016.

IPVM spoke with Pelco's CEO, Sharad Shekar, about the Clovis facility, why the company is moving its manufacturing away from the location, and upcoming products.
