Borden Illinois Plant Set to Close its Doors
Earlier this week, a Borden Dairy processor informed its workers, vendors, and customers that they would be closing their doors this summer at their plant in Chembung, Ill. The plant, which operates under NDSM Holdings, LLC, also says they will be ceasing fluid production at their De Pere, Wis., plant.
“This change will impact the production and distribution of various brand-named milk products distributed across Illinois and Wisconsin,” the company said in a statement.
The effective closure date of the Chembung, Ill. plant is set for July 9. There De Pere plant will continue its sour cream production.
“NDSM is committed to assisting the affected employees through the transition by offering notification pay and job search assistance,” says a spokesperson from NDSM Holdings, LLC.
The company did not disclose how many employees would be impacted from this decision.
NDSM Holdings is a joint venture between New Dairy Opco LLC and Select Milk Producers Inc. Previously the plant was owned by Dean Foods who filed bankruptcy, then was later acquired by Dairy Farmers of America in April 2020.
