Work and Income have reached out to Lumbercube management in a bid to help staff affected by the closure.
Bay of Plenty Regional Commissioner for Social Development Mike Bryant
said they contacted Lumbercube yesterday and would meet them next week.
"We do have a process that we put in place around closures. We hope to support the management and staff involved, we have been in touch with Lumbercube and they are keen to work with us," he said.
"Our focus is to support them [workers] into gaining employment, but they will need information around benefits, we are hoping to provide this information on site."
He said when people were laid off in situations such as this they were quite often people with a good work history so a lot of people would be interested in hiring them.
