Goodman Fielder this morning confirmed the closure of its Hamilton Huttons / Kiwi Bacon factory and the loss of 125.
Workers were called to a company meeting this morning and given the news from Goodman Fielder NZ managing director Peter Reidie.
Last month workers were told of the sale ofGoodman Fielder's NZ meat division to Hellers. They were told that the sale was for the brands only and the Hamilton production site would close by the end of March 2014.
A bid by the union to keep the plant open was rejected.
