As employees of XPER, the former Ibis Tek, settled into their roles Friday morning, they received a letter notifying them they no longer had jobs.

“Dear XPER Employee,” it read. “Despite our best efforts, XPER does not have adequate funds to continue operations or conduct a sale process.”

The letter told employees of the Middlesex Township-based company the layoffs were effective the same day. The company cited “unforeseen circumstances” leading to the layoffs.

“We have been actively seeking funding from available sources to continue business operations, but have been unable to obtain the support necessary to continue the business,” the letter said.

According to the company’s LinkedIn profile, it employed more than 200 people, all of whom are now out of jobs.

According to previous reports, XPER had received about $2 million from the Small Business Association’s Payroll Protection Plan in 2021.
