A HelloFresh spokeswoman said the company is shutting down its California production facility because the plant is outdated and the lease was due to expire soon. The permanent closure means the loss of 611 jobs, from managers to maintenance personnel.
HelloFresh SE, which touts itself as the world’s largest meal-kit provider, is laying off more than 600 workers and shutting down its production facility in California, which a spokeswoman explained was because the plant is too outdated and the lease was due to expire soon.
A spokeswoman for the company said Friday that the decision to shutter the plant was made after “an extensive analysis” of HelloFresh’s production network. The Richmond, Calif., plant was too old, had an inefficient footprint and outdated refrigeration systems, she said. The lease at the facility, which is about 20 miles northeast of San Francisco, was set to expire in early 2023.
She also said the company will help laid-off employees with financial support, outplacement support and relocation.
