These two steps will result in the reduction of approximately 150 employees. Marel will provide support to the employees affected throughout the transition.
As a result, Marel’s U.S. operation will consist of: a multi-industry manufacturing site in Gainesville focusing on the poultry, meat and further processing industries; a manufacturing site in Seattle, Washington focusing on on-board solutions for the fish industry; a multi-industry sales and service office in Lenexa, Kansas; as well as an innovation center in Des Moines. All four of the U.S. sites will also continue to have a focus on sales and service support.
After the changes, Marel will have approximately 600 employees in the U.S. serving the dynamic and growing U.S. market.
Further details will be provided on the progress of the Simpler, Smarter, Faster refocusing program when the 2014 annual results are announced on February 4, 2015.
