General Mills Closes Missouri Pizza & Pet Food Plants - Supply Chain ...
General Mills will restructure by closing three Missouri plants by mid-2026 to enhance supply chain competitiveness and support product innovation, spending $70 million on severance costs.
- General Mills plans to shut down three Missouri manufacturing sites by mid-2026, including a St. Charles plant that produces pizza crusts and a pair of pet food facilities located in Joplin.
- The closures follow General Mills' May 2024 approval of a multi-year global transformation initiative aiming to improve supply chain competitiveness and reduce costs.
- General Mills acquired the Joplin pet food plants in 2024 with its purchase of Whitebridge Pet Brands and the St. Charles plant in 2022 from TNT Pizza Crust, intending to consolidate production elsewhere.
- Spokesperson Mollie Wulff said the company expects $82 million in restructuring charges, including about $70 million primarily for severance, and that employees will be offered roles at other facilities.
- These plant closures illustrate General Mills' effort to enable product innovation, create consumer value, and position the company for long-term success amid broader industry cost pressures.
