Startek plans to close Greeley call center

GREELEY — The birthplace of call-center giant Startek Inc. (NYSE: STK) soon will lose its last connection to the company.

The Greeley Tribune reports that Denver-based Startek — founded as StarPak Inc. in Greeley in 1987 — will close its Greeley call center in October, eliminating 186 jobs. The company filed a WARN notice on Aug. 17. The decision follows similar closures in Colorado Springs and Indiana.

Startek at one time operated two call centers in Greeley but shut down the second facility in 2005. The company continues to operate call centers in Grand Junction and Greenwood Village.
