ADA, MI - Direct sales giant Amway will close two plants housed at its Ada-headquarters - one focused on laundry detergent, the other on water filters - by the end of 2019, though no jobs losses will occur, the company says.

The move comes as the company seeks to put more resources into high-growth areas, such as supplements and protein powder within its nutrition product line, said Brian Krauss, Amway's vice president of manufacturing.

"By making this adjustment, we are trying to be responsive to our ABOs," said Krauss. ABOs stand for Amway Business Owners, the people who sell the company's products throughout the world.

Both plants that are slated to close are located at Amway's headquarters in Ada.

The durables plant, which produces water filters, has 15 employees, and is about 28,000-square-feet. The laundry plant has 30 workers and is about 72,000-square-feet. The facilities will be repurposed in the future, but the company has not yet determined for what purpose.

Anna Bryce, a company spokesperson, said that due to "natural attrition and management of open positions," no employees will lose their jobs as a result of the closures.

Krauss added: "We are not shuttering the plants because of underlying business problems."

Amway, a privately-owned family business, employs 17,000 people throughout the world and 3,000 in Ada.
