“A recent analysis of overall pickle production capacity and plant efficiency led us to this difficult decision. The balance of the volume will be transferred to other Bay Valley Foods locations,” SVP of operations Brian Demos commented.

Demos emphasised that the company expects no supply disruptions during the transition.

TreeHouse will record non-recurring, pre-tax charges of approximately US$5m, the company revealed. Annual cost savings are expected to total $2m, the group added.
