Denver, Colorado-based Leprino Foods, a food producer of cheese, lactose, whey protein, and sweet whey, has announced a plant restructuring in Remus, Michigan, that will shift the product line from producing string cheese to producing condensed milk starting in January 2024.
The product change will impact 100 employees as the string cheese production will shift to the company's plant in Fort Morgan, Colorado, which has excess capacity.
According to a company spokesperson, "Leprino continually assesses and evaluates our manufacturing network to ensure optimization and to allow us to better meet current and future production needs, as well as the evolving needs of our customers.”
“We do not take this decision lightly, nor do we underestimate how this will impact those affected by this change and the Remus community. We will work diligently with employees and the community during this transition."
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. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. 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?
