NASHVILLE — Monogram Foods said it plans to close its Dickson, Tenn., sandwich facility. The plans were disclosed in a Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice posted by the Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development. The closing would affect 237 employees.
“We have made the difficult decision to suspend operations at our Dickson, Tenn., facility as customer demand has softened for the products manufactured at the plant,” the company said. “We purchased the Dickson plant with intentions to make it a profitable and successful site, and while we have explored a range of options to continue operations, we have not identified a path to do so that is viable for our business. We are committed to providing support and resources to all affected team members, including job placement services, severance packages, benefits assistance, and more.”
Monogram added that all Dickson employees working at the facility would be considered for open roles at other locations within the company.
“There will be no disruptions to customer services because of this decision,” the company said.
Monogram said the Dickson plant features 103,000 square feet of production space and three handheld sandwich production lines. The facility also features frozen breakfast sandwich assembly, refrigerated sandwich assembly, and portable snack assembly.
The plant was built in 1989, with upgrades and expansion occurring in 2005.
