Job Losses Loom As Tyson Shuts Down Pork Facility In Iowa: Report

Author: Shivani Kumaresan | March 12, 2024 05:58am

Tyson Foods Inc (NYSE:TSN) has reportedly opted to permanently close its pork facility in Perry, Iowa, as part of its ongoing efforts to streamline operations amid declining profits.

The closure underscores Tyson’s strategy to enhance operational efficiency, according to a report from Bloomberg.

The move follows a series of shutdowns across various plants over the past year, affecting thousands of jobs, the report added.

Tyson faced significant profit declines due to market factors, including an oversupply of chicken and pork.

Despite this, the company saw a profit turnaround in its pork division in the final quarter of the fiscal year, driven by increased volumes.

The report further noted that the Perry pork packing plant closure may impact approximately 1,200 employees, although Tyson has not confirmed the exact number.

The company is urging affected workers to consider other positions within Tyson and is collaborating with local authorities to provide support to those affected.

Price Action: TSN shares closed higher by 2.99% at $55.73 on Monday.
