Fremont, NE: Kerry Ingredients, a manufacturer of food ingredients and flavors, has announced that it is moving operations at its Fremont, NE plant to a new site in Illinois.
Kerry Ingredients spokesman Jim Egan says the plant will begin laying off its roughly 70 employees next month. Operations there will cease in the fall and be transferred to a new facility in Gridley, IL. Workers were informed of the closing two weeks ago. The plant produces ingredients for cereals and snackbars, including granola clusters, crisps and flakes.
Kerry Ingredients is owned by the Kerry Group. a Tralee, Ireland-based company that supplies food ingredients and flavorings to customers in more than 140 countries.
