Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc announced plans to close its production facility in Broekhuizenvorst, the Netherlands, to align its global supply chain footprint with evolving market conditions and as part of its broader executional excellence efforts.
“These actions are part of our commitment to ensure the long-term resilience and competitiveness of our global supply chain network,” said Sylvia Wilks, chief supply chain officer of Lamb Weston. “While this is a very difficult step, particularly given the strong commitment of our Broekhuizenvorst team, it is necessary to position us to improve our operational efficiency and better align our manufacturing footprint with customer needs.”
The company will now initiate a formal consultation process with the Works Council, in accordance with Dutch regulations. Lamb Weston is committed to conducting this process in an open and constructive manner and will communicate further details following its completion.
The company plans to support the approximate 110 affected team members throughout the process, treating them with fairness, respect, and in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
These strategic actions are part of the company’s ongoing execution of its Focus to Win strategy, which includes prioritizing markets and channels, strengthening customer partnerships, achieving executional excellence and setting the pace for innovation.
