In another blow to the San Fernando Valley’s manufacturing base, H.J. Heinz Co. is shuttering its Chatsworth condiment plant and laying off 145 workers, the company said Friday.
“After an extensive review of our company’s North American supply chain, capabilities and capacity utilization, Heinz has made the difficult but necessary decision to close our Chatsworth Portion Control facility,” said Michael Mullen, senior vice president for corporate and government affairs, in a statement.
The plant, at the northwest corner of Dearborn Street and Lurline Avenue, manufactures single-serve cup and pouch condiments and sauces, as well as bulk sauces and dressings.
