Meat processor Vion said the restructuring was needed to “reinforce the company’s competitive position” on the “strongly contested” Dutch food market.
“This will affect the labour opportunities of 105 employees. Redundancy will be requested for 40 staff. The remaining 65 employees will be relocated or will leave as a result of natural wastage,” Vion said. “These changes will allow Vion Food Netherlands to work more effectively and reduce costs. This is crucial in order to maintain the right market position.”
Last week, Vion announced plans to leave the UK and focus on its Dutch and German operations.
Vion, which entered the UK in the late 1990s, employs 13,000 people at 38 sites in the country.
