Description

McBride is a leading international developer of laundry, household cleaning, and personal care products. The production sites in Breda and the distribution centre in Oosterhout will be closed and 135 jobs will be shed. The equipment is too old and it would cost too much to replace it, the production is moved to two sites in Belgium. A social plan has to be discussed with the trade unions.
