The smell of coffee wafting from the Gregg’s factory in Forth St, Dunedin, could soon be a thing of the past. Dunedin’s Gregg’s coffee factory is in line for closure under proposed changes from its parent company. The proposal would result in the closure of the Dunedin manufacturing facility, Heinz Wattie’s said in a press release. The press release said redundancy packages, career transition and outplacement services, as well as wellbeing support would be offered to employees. We’ve seen it with Carter Holt Harvey at Eves Valley, Sealord in Nelson, Kinleith Pulp and Paper, and now Heinz Wattie’s.
