Land O’Frost informed approximately 125 employees at its Wimmer’s Meats manufacturing facility in West Point, Neb., that the plant will close and operations will be moving to the company’s other facilities. The facility will continue operations into the second quarter 2015 in order to provide a fair amount of time for affected employees to find alternative employment and ensure a seamless transition.
The decision was made after a thorough review of Land O’Frost operations, including manufacturing capacity. All affected employees will be provided with transition packages and stay incentives, and Land O’Frost will also offer outplacement services and local job search assistance. All impacted employees will also be eligible to apply for current openings at other Land O’Frost locations.
