Delaware-based chicken processor Allen Harim Foods is closing its Cordova, MD plant in July and consolidating operations to one central location in Delaware. The closure will impact approximately 300 employees at that facility, who will be offered jobs at the company’s other locations.
Steve Evans, CEO of Allen Harim, says a combination of factors were weighed in the decision to close the facility including its age, a shift in the company’s product mix and a desire to improve the company’s competitive position to assure greater efficiency.
