ACH: Future of plant was uncertain after deal with ADM
CHAMPAIGN – ACH Food Companies made it clear more than a month ago that the future of its Champaign plant was uncertain, according to a company official in Memphis.
The uncertainty ended Thursday, after two employee meetings were held to announce that the plant will close in six to nine months as a result of a new joint venture ACH Foods announced in October with Archer Daniels Midland.
The closure of the Champaign plant will put 250 out of work, with 200 of those employees represented by Teamsters Local 26.
