USA: Land O’Frost to cease operations at Illinois facility

Land O’Frost, the US manufacturer of ready-to-eat processed meats, has announced plans to close its manufacturing plant located in the Pullman neighbourhood of Chicago (IL).

The company, which caters to both retail and food service channels, produces deli sliced packaged lunchmeats, hot dogs, sausages, bacon, and spiral ham under brands such as Bistro Favorites and Deli Shaved.

In a notification released to the state of Illinois, Land O’Frost said: “After careful consideration, we have made the decision to transition our portfolio of products currently produced at the Pullman facility to other locations within our manufacturing network. Unfortunately, this move entails the gradual elimination of all Land O’Frost positions at the Pullman site throughout this year”.

The closure will affect approximately 215 positions.
