CHICAGO (AKUURA) – Tyson Foods Inc (NYSE:) will close two U.S. chicken plants with almost 1,700 employees on May 12, the company said on Tuesday, after struggling to improve operations in the business.
The company will shut a plant in Glen Allen, Virginia, with 692 employees and a plant in Van Buren, Arkansas, with 969 employees, according to a statement.
“The current scale and inability to economically improve operations has led to the difficult decision to close the facilities,” Tyson said.
