California Dairies, Inc. Closes Artesia Manufacturing Plant
California Dairies, Inc. (CDI), today announced it will cease operations at its Artesia, California, manufacturing facility, effective immediately. The entire facility will close, affecting approximately 49 employees.
“We deeply regret the impact this decision will have on our Artesia employees and the community and are committed to supporting our employees through this transition,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Brad Anderson. “The Artesia plant has been a valued facility with a long history that has served California Dairies and its member-owners well.
