Olymel a large Canadian meat-processing cooperative based in Quebec has announced that the Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu facility will close in mid-July. The decision was based on declining production volume and the need to reduce operating expenses through consolidation among existing plants. The decision will affect 135 workers including 53 foreign employees who will receive assistance in applying for relocation to other Olymel facilities and for positions with other companies.
Olymel has returned to profitability through a program of restructuring and rationalizing the product mix implemented by CEO Yanick Gervais, appointed to the position in 2021.
