Germany-based Vion Zeven has unveiled plans to shut its pork slaughter and processing plant in Lingen, as the facility has been incurring higher losses in the recent past.
In 2013, the slaughtering operations at the plant dropped by 30% to 12,000 pigs a week.
Efforts to generate additional export orders were found to be inadequate to record sufficient turnover, the company noted.
In addition, Vion also experienced reduced raw materials supply from Dutch companies across the German border.
