General Mills to cut 163 jobs in closure of Missouri pizza crust plant
Published in Business News
General Mills plans to eliminate more than 160 jobs as it closes its pizza crust plant in St. Charles, Missouri, a company official told state regulators this month.
Minneapolis-based General Mills Inc. expects the job cuts to occur on or about June 8, or within two weeks of that date, the Thursday notice to Missouri officials said.
In total, 163 jobs are to be cut. General Mills said in a filing that the move is intended to “increase the competitiveness of our supply chain.”
Affected positions included 46 skilled production operators, 43 general production associates, 13 skilled freezer operators, team leads, managers and others.
The St. Charles plant is one of three Missouri closures announced in a company filing in October. The Minnesota-based company is also closing two Joplin pet food plants.
“Last fall, General Mills announced it will close its St. Charles, Missouri, TNT Pizza Crust manufacturing plant with production transitioning to other facilities," said company spokeswoman Mollie Wulff. "We are supporting employees interested in exploring future opportunities with General Mills at other locations.”
General Mills acquired the St. Charles plant when it bought TNT Crust in 2022.
