Ontario’s Food Manufacturing Industry Takes another Hit: Kellogg’s Closings its London, Ont. Plant End of 2014

Kellogg’s announced Tuesday that it is shutting down its London, Ontario plant at the end of next year.

Workers were called to a meeting where they were given the news. The London facility employs more than 500 workers.

The company revealed in its last quarterly report that it was launching a program called – Project K – aimed at increasing overall efficiency, which included an evaluation of possible plant consolidations.

Kellogg makes about 27 cereals in its London location, which include: Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, Bran Buds, Bran Flakes and Raisin Bran.

The closure announcement comes after Heniz said last month that it was shutting down its Leamington, Ont. plant cutting 740 jobs.
