Crown Royal to close bottling plant


 Diageo whiskey company said it will close its Crown Royal plant in Amhersburg in February.


It said moving that business to the United States will improve its supply chain.


Its whiskey will continue to be made in Canada, it said, and it will retain bottling plants at Gimli, Man., and Quebec.


The union representing about 200 workers and the local Chamber of Commerce called the news “devastating”.
