“The action is being taken to address spare capacity among Unilever US-based ice cream plants,” Unilever said.
In May, Unilever sold a US ice cream manufacturing facility in Hagerstown in Maryland to investment groups New Mill Capital and M Davies Group. Unilever ended production at the facility last autumn.
