THE NETHERLANDS – Campina has announced plans to close the production facility in Hilversum by no later than Spring 2006.

The move is part of the company’s restructuring programme announced in 2002, which will see a new facility built in Maasdam, as well as the relocation of several production processes, largely to Germany.

Almost all the production volume of Hilversum, which includes fresh produce specialities, will be integrated in the new factory at Maasdam. However, the company cannot guarantee the 130 employees currently at Hilversum will be able to continue within the company.
