Campaigners trying to save a sheltered workplace for people with physical or learning difficulties say they expect a decision by the end of the week. Up to 11 staff face losing their jobs on assembly lines or making road signs at Duston-based Nordis Industries, owned by Northants County Council.
A report to the council proposed saving �150,000 a year by closing the packing line, making 11 staff redundant.
Councillors are to meet management on Friday to look at future options.
Unions have been trying to persuade the council not to make anyone redundant and have suggested a management buyout.
Parents and carers of workers at Nordis say they have had a meeting with county councillors about the possibility of some of the work being kept on.
