FrieslandCampina is looking to cut up to 375 roles across two of its sites in the Netherlands in a bid to improve efficiency.
The Dutch dairy processor said it has "invested heavily in greater production capacity, quality improvements and safety at production facilities" at its sites in Beilen and Leeuwarden and as part of a move toward reducing costs and increasing efficiency, it is cutting jobs at both sites over the next three years.

Between 210 and 230 jobs could go at Beilen, out of a workforce of 767 over the next three years. The site produces infant nutrition and ingredients. At Leeuwarden, which produces condensed milk for export to the Middle East, Africa and Asia, approximately 125 to 145 jobs will go.
FrieslandCampina said affected employees with permanent employment contracts would be covered by its "social plan as in force at that time". The plan helps employees that have lost their jobs find new work.
"The current social plan expires this year and is no longer in keeping with the situation at FrieslandCampina. The number of locations has continued to decline in recent years, as a result of which there will be less scope for redeployment within the organisation. FrieslandCampina therefore intends to adjust its social plan, and it will discuss this matter with the trade unions," the company added.
