Dairy Plants | Food and beverage giant Dean Foods closing Louisville plant, laying off workers

An affiliate of Dallas-based food and beverage giant Dean Foods Co. plans to permanently close its Louisville plant later this month, according to our news partner Louisville Business First.

Dean Dairy Holdings LLC said it will close its operations at 4420 Bishop Lane, citing unforeseen business circumstances and an attempted sale of the property in bankruptcy for raising of necessary capital. The closure is expected to impact 25 workers.

The company announced the layoffs in a WARN notice filed with Kentucky workforce officials this week. WARN is shorthand for the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, which requires such notices ahead of layoffs. It was unclear if the outbreak of the coronavirus had an impact on the plant’s shutdown.
