The company's global vice president of manufacturing operations, Steve Maddocks, said that the plant will close in four stages, beginning May 10 with 158 layoffs.
The company filed a WARN notice on Monday with the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce. That document is required when companies plan large closures or layoffs that will impact workers. The 4260 Pleasant Road facility will be closed between May 10 and the end of the year, according to the notice.

In 2017 the company announced it would move into a 345,000-square-foot facility in Lakemont Business Park, across Carowinds Boulevard from the Carowinds amusement park. That move would bring a $31 million investment and 500 new jobs, York County economic development officials said at the time.
Stanley Black & Decker officials could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.
The new layoffs filing is the 11th WARN notice in South Carolina this year, but the first for any company in the Rock Hill region.
