Statement Released Regarding Weston Foods Closure In Cobourg

In Local

The press release issued on behalf Weston Foods in Cobourg.

Weston Foods has made the difficult decision to close our Cobourg, Ontario bakery in the second half of 2020. Production from this facility will be relocated to other bakeries in the Weston Foods network.

Regrettably, up to 180 jobs will be lost. This equates to a decrease of less than 4% in our total workforce.

As a company, we are always working to understand consumer needs and to meet changing customer demands, and that important work informs our decisions to re-evaluate our bakery network and make changes to ensure our future success.

Closing a bakery is one of the toughest decisions we ever face. We deeply regret the personal impact this closure will have on our Cobourg employees and are committed to providing support and resources to all those affected.

As always, our top priorities are the wellbeing of our employees, meeting our compliance standards, and continuing to deliver top quality products seamlessly to our customers.
