The North American division of global snack firm Pladis has announced plans to close a facility in Mohnton (PA) as part of a restructuring of its manufacturing operations.
Founded in 2016, Pladis North America operates as part of Pladis, which owns the Godiva, Flipz and Turtles brands.
“This move enables us to focus our resources on our GODIVA plant in Reading, PA and our pladis North America plant in Big Flats, NY”, Pladis said in a statement.
“While this business decision helps facilitate our growth strategy, it is a tough day for our teams. Pladis remains fully committed to our presence in the Berks County region, where the GODIVA facility currently employs over 200 people”, it added.
Operations are reportedly due to end on 29th May.
