Garmin Ltd. today said it is laying off 141 employees in Kansas City, a first for the Olathe-based navigation business that has been one of the area’s fastest growing companies.

All of the affected employees are in Olathe, or in the company’s two area customer service centers. Garmin has 2,510 employees in the Kansas City area and about 9,500 worldwide.

The cuts represent 5.6 percent of Garmin’s local workforce. (KC Star)
