Danish Crown’s department in Hadsund will close down before the end of September 2012.
The decision to move production from the relatively old Hadsund facility was made as far back as December 2010.
For the past eighteen months, a number of models have been considered – for example moving production to the empty factory in Sdr. Borup. However, it has not been possible to agree pay terms which will ensure competitive production in the long term at a new factory.
Consequently, the decision has now been finalised, which means that the production of speciality products, which is the core activity in Hadsund, will be moved to other departments.
The decision also means that the future of the closed down Tulip facility in Sdr. Borup has yet to be decided.
”The building is strategically well‐sited, and we will now look into other possible uses within the group. But at the right price, the building may also simply be sold,” says Søren F. Eriksen.
