Company spokeswoman Lisa Gephardt says details of how or when the layoffs will happen are not available.
She says the layoffs are due to the normal drop-off of order volume after last fall. She also cited the scheduled end to a short-term distribution agreement with a third-party customer.
Sony employees 360 people at the distribution center. The plant opened in 1981 with a manufacturing and distribution center but closed the manufacturing center in 2001.
Sony reports a 25.2 percent jump in profit for the October-December quarter today. Profit at the Tokyo-based electronics and entertainment company climbed to 1.88 billion dollars for the fiscal third quarter.
