Texas private label petfood producer lays off 43 workers

Pied Piper Pet and Wildlife Inc. laid off about one-fourth of its employees, according to Workforce Solutions of west central Texas USA.
Following the layoffs of 43 people, 113 employees remain with the Hamlin, Texas, USA-based company, according to Mary Ross, executive director of Workforce Solutions in Abilene, Texas USA.

Ross said representatives from Workforce Solutions have met with officials and employees at Pied Piper Pet and Wildlife to offer their services
