North Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Hundreds of people have been laid off by a local company that was supposed to create new jobs in the Valley.

Amonix officially opened in North Las Vegas in May of 2011. 200 of it's 300 employees got pink slips this week.

The company makes solar panels and was expected to create new jobs and nearly $600 million in economic development.

Eric Culberson, the director of Global Manufacturing Operations tells Action News the layoffs are temporary while the plant is re-tooled to produce new products.

"We're anticipating the second half of this year we will start ramping the production of the 8700 system," Culberson said.

However, there is no guarantee those workers who were laid off will get their jobs back.
