Kellogg to close Georgia snack plant

The closure will hit around 325 employees at the Columbus plant. The site produces Kellogg’s Cheez-It snack, among others. Kris Charles, vice president of communications, said: “As with any project that impacts people, these are difficult decisions. We are very mindful of the impact these changes will have – particularly to our employees, and we will help those who are impacted through their transitions.” The closure marks part of the cereal giant’s four-year efficiency plan – coined Project K – that will slash 7% of its global workforce in total. The Project has already seen several cut backs, including a cookie plant closure in North Carolina and job cuts at a UK plant .
