Business Wire
Unilever, one of the world’s largest consumer goods companies,
today announced that it will be closing its manufacturing plant in
City of Industry, CA and shifting production to other company
facilities in the US.
“Continually achieving greater efficiencies across our Supply
Chain network is essential to our business,” said Dennis Myers,
Supply Leader. “An extensive and careful analysis has shown that
greater efficiencies can be achieved by shifting production to
other company plants in the US. This decision was not easily made,
and in no way reflects the dedication or performance of our
colleagues at the City of Industry facility.”
Production from City of Industry, which manufactures iconic
Unilever personal care brands such as Dove, Suave, and AXE, will be
transferred to Unilever sites in Jefferson City, MO and Raeford, NC
in several phases beginning by the second quarter of 2010 and to be
completed in the third quarter of 2010. City of Industry plant
production is expected to finish during the third quarter of 2010
with the final plant closing expected to occur during that same
time period.
The decision to close the plant will affect 61 salaried and
hourly employees.
