Farmland Dairies is set to close its milk processing plant in Wallington, New Jersey, affecting jobs of more than 300 people.
The latest closure marks the second in the Wallington borough since October when Consolidated Dairies went out of business, reported northjersey.com.
Farmland Dairies owner Borden Dairy said that the company will continue to manufacture its popular products at other plants.
Borden spokesman Fred Stern said that the plant's unions and 323 employees were already informed about the impending closure of the plant that is best known for producing Skim Plus.
Local 338 political and communications director Joe Fontano said that the company is disappointed with the plant closure decision.
"And its 250 families that got some really bad news just a week before Christmas, and it's horrifying," Fontano added.
