Postal Center International, a national mail-handling firm headquartered in Weston since its founding era in South Florida, is permanently closing its Broward County headquarters facility and laying off nearly 200 local employees, according to a state filing reported by Florida Trend.
The company notified the state of the layoffs on Aug. 12. According to the WARN notice, 181 employees at the company’s Weston office at 2965 W. Corporate Lakes Blvd. are affected by layoffs that began Aug. 13 and may continue through Sept. 30. The notice states the company will be permanently closing the facility.
Postal Center International got its start in 1984 and grew into a national player in mail, print and fulfillment services. The cuts extend beyond Florida: the company is laying off hundreds of workers in South Florida and Massachusetts combined, Florida Trend reported.
A Blow to Broward’s Corporate Base
The closure removes a longtime corporate employer from Weston’s Corporate Lakes business park and adds to a rising count of large-scale layoff notices filed in Florida this year. Through the first four months of 2026, employers filed 105 WARN notifications covering 6,011 positions statewide, compared with 87 notices in the same period a year earlier, according to state data reported by Miami Today.
The layoffs come amid an otherwise resilient South Florida labor market. The Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metro area posted the lowest unemployment rate among Florida’s large metros in the state’s most recent jobs report, at 3.9%, even as the statewide rate stood at 4.7%, according to figures from the Florida Department of Commerce reported by WUWF.
Mail and print services companies nationally have faced sustained pressure as businesses shift customer communications, billing and marketing to digital channels, squeezing volumes in the transactional mail segment that firms like Postal Center International were built on.
Workers affected by the Weston closure are covered by the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires large employers to give 60 days’ notice of mass layoffs and plant closings. State and local workforce agencies typically offer rapid-response services, including job placement assistance and retraining programs, to employees named in WARN filings.
The company had not publicly detailed plans for its remaining operations as of this week.
