Following recent investment across its UK carton operations, the Field Group has undertaken a review of its manufacturing capacity. The aim is to strengthen overall group operational capability through better utilization of existing capacity.
A proposal has been made to close the Field First carton operation at Oldbury. If this is implemented, other Field sites will support Oldbury's current customer requirements. The proposed closure would take place over the next six months and there may be up to 190 redundancies. However, it is expected that this action may create opportunities at other Field Group factories. The company will consult with employee representatives in relation to these proposals and will propose an employee support programme.
Field says it will ensure that the supply of packaging to its customers is uninterrupted.
