Toronto-based Maple Leaf Foods has closed down its meat processing plant located in Moncton, New Brunswick. The company has operated the plant since 2000, and the closure will affect 100 employees working at the location. Maple Leaf Foods employs approximately 12,000 people in total, and exports hot dogs, deli meats and other meat products to locations in the U.S., Asia, and more.
Production of the plant has been transferred to other facilities in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Hamilton. This decision has been part of the company’s restructuring that was announced back in April. The restructuring is set to end in the next few months.
