Plant Closings
Roskam Foods to Close California Plant as Part of Cereal Production Consolidation

Roskam Foods is centralizing its cereal and granola production at its campus in Grand Rapids, Michigan as part of a broader network optimization strategy.
The consolidation is anticipated to be complete by Oct. 1 and will result in the closure of the company's production facility in San Dimas, California. The closure will impact 115 employees, according to WARN Act information on California’s Economic Development Department website.
The move brings Roskam's full cereal and granola capabilities together in a single, purpose-built Midwest location. The company said the Grand Rapids campus is best positioned for ingredient sourcing, production resources and automation. Centralizing production there will improve customer service, accelerate speed-to-market and strengthen quality control across the category. The consolidation also allows Roskam to fully leverage new capital investment in cereal and granola manufacturing.
"Centralizing cereal and granola production at Grand Rapids is an investment in the future of the category and in our customers," says Roskam Foods CEO Andre LeBron. "It positions us to deliver greater efficiency, faster innovation and the consistent quality our customers count on."
The San Dimas facility joined Roskam through the company's 2023 acquisition of Organic Milling. All production and scheduling have been relocated to Grand Rapids to ensure continuity of supply and customers have been notified directly. Roskam said there will be no interruption to customer service or supply because of the transition.
"Our customers count on us for consistency, speed and quality, and this consolidation delivers on all three," says Zach Malin, chief commercial officer of Roskam Foods. "By centralizing cereal and granola production and investing in it, we're building the capacity to innovate faster and grow alongside the brands we serve."
Roskam Foods says it has notified affected employees and is working with other area employers to help connect them with new opportunities.
