On 24 November 2010 dairy group Friesland Campina announced it will concentrate its activities on cheese production and will close down several plants. This will result in the loss of 159 jobs. Simultaneously, the group will create 52 new jobs in order to improve the competitiveness of the group in the field of cheese production.
