MONTREAL — Bimbo Canada, a Grupo Bimbo subsidiary, announced it will close its Quebec City bakery at the end of the year.
Operations at Quebec City will wind down through the remainder of the year as production shifts to other Bimbo Canada bakeries.
“By consolidating and continuing to make significant investments in our operations, we will ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of our business,” said Marie-Ève Royer, president of Bimbo Canada. “It was a difficult decision, and I will personally ensure that we do everything possible to ease the impact on our people.”
The approximately 141 employees of the Quebec City location will receive a period of working notice in addition to severance packages, personal counseling and outplacement services.
This closure comes just a few months after Bimbo Canada announced the closing of its bakery in Lévis, Quebec.
