"There are 11 other manufacturing plants and we'll be offering employment opportunities to Dawson plant employees for positions that may be open at those 11 other plants," AMPI communications director Sarah Schmidt told MPR.
AMPI recently sold its shelf-stable dairy products business to Bay Valley Foods, but the packaging facility in Dawson was not included in the deal.
