UK-based salads and sandwiches manufacturers Solway Foods will close its Corby factory in Northamptonshire with the loss of 900 jobs.
Last week, the company had made 500 jobs redundant, and said that the remaining 400 would be laid-off with the plant closure in August.
Consultation on the plant closure commenced in February.
The company said that the closure-affected staff will be assessed to find new jobs, and will explore options to redeploy them across its parent 2 Sisters Food's operation
