MONTREAL, QC – Saputo is closing a milk processing plant in Trois-Rivieres, Que., next summer, affecting 61 workers.
The company says the plant has outdated equipment and couldn't be brought up to the same level of its other 25 Canadian dairy processing plants. This past spring, Saputo Inc. bought Scotsburn Co-operative Services Limited's fluid milk division in Atlantic Canada.
Built in the early 20th century, the Cremerie Trois-Rivieres plant was acquired by Saputo in 1997.
