Trident Seafoods Corporation in Bedford will be letting go 75 workers later this year when its plant shuts down, according to a Virginia Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice.
The Seattle-based company will move its onion rings and French toast production facility to Carrollton, Georgia, where a new and larger facility awaits. Trident Seafoods arrived in Bedford in summer 2012 with a one-year plan to work there until the Carrollton facility was completed.
Two managers and about a half-dozen Bedford workers are transferring to Carrollton, said Joe Kirkland, plant manager in Bedford.
