East Hanover, New Jersey-based Nabisco, a producer of cookies and snacks and a subsidiary of Chicago, Illinois-based Mondelēz International, has announced the closure of its Fair Lawn, New Jersery production facility after 63 years of producing Oreos, Ritz crackers, Lorna Doone and Teddy Grahams.
All 600 employees retired, transferred or were laid off as of July 16, 2021.
More than 400 employees were impacted by the closure of the company's Atlanta, Georgia plant in June 2021.
According to a company spokesperson, “Both Fair Lawn and Atlanta are no longer strategic assets from a geographic footprint perspective and both face significant operational challenges, including aging infrastructure and outdated production capabilities, which would have required significant investment to bring them to the modernized state required for the future.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
