Olymel to close plant bought last year



Olymel is closing a processing plant at Quebec City that it bought from Triomphe Foods last June.

The Triophe deal included another plant at Laval.

The Quebec facility, known as the Vanier plant, employs 47 workers and produces bologna, pepperoni, spaghetti sauce and cretons, a pork meat spread.

Production will move to Olymel’s plant at Blainville where it will invest about $2 million and generate 30 jobs.

Olymel said it studied several options, but none would result in a profit at the Vanier facility.
