The move will affect all levels of the organization, says chief executive Brian Roach, who blamed the downsizing on design problems that have prevented the plant from reaching full 100 million gallon nameplate operation.
The company in January filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a legal process that protects it from creditors while providing time to reorganize under court supervision.
The design problem involves layout of hundreds of feet of pipe between the corn milling equipment and the fermentation vessels.
