TC Transcontinental To Phase Out Operations At Plant In Tomah, WI Montreal, Quebec based TC Transcontinental announced that it will be phasing out operations at its Tomah, Wiscon- sin packaging plant in anticipation of the complete closure of the facility in early February 2024. Operations will grad- ually be transferred to TC Transcontinental Packaging’s plants in Battle Creek, Michigan; Clinton, Missouri; Elgin, Illinois; Lenexa, Kansas; and Spartanburg, South Caroli- na, to help ensure a smooth transition for customers and maintain high-quality service. “In line with our priority of optimizing the return on our assets, reducing costs and improving operational efficien- cy, we have made the decision, after thorough consider- ation, to close our Tomah, Wisconsin, plant. Servicing our customers in the most competitive manner is something we are constantly evaluating and taking action on,” said Jeff Lasley, Senior Vice President, Dairy, Protein and Pet Food (DPP), Latin America and New Zealand, TC Transcon- tinental Packaging. “We regret the impact of this decision on our employ- ees who have been a strong team of contributors since the acquisition of the plant by TC Transcontinental in 2018. We thank our 89 employees and will ensure they receive the respect they deserve, including support in their career transition.”
