Item 8.01 Other Events
On December 3, 2010, Pinnacle Foods Group LLC announced supply chain improvements as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance the long-term strength of its leading brands. Pinnacle will consolidate the manufacturing of its Nalley’s® Chili and Brooks® Beans from Tacoma, Washington into its Armour® canned meat plant in Fort Madison, Iowa. This consolidation will result in the elimination of approximately 160 positions at the Tacoma facility. To enable the move from Tacoma, Pinnacle Foods will add a 17,000 square foot extension to the Fort Madison facility. In total Pinnacle Foods will invest approximately $20 million, create approximately 65 new jobs and retain approximately 430 jobs in Fort Madison. This consolidation is contingent upon the approval of applicable state and local incentives in Iowa.
