In a statement Unilever said, it would be closing its ice cream manufacturing facility in Henderson, Nevada.

As a result of this closure, 300 people are likely to lose their jobs.

Unilever’s spokeswoman Catherine Reynolds stated, the Henderson plant manufactures ice cream and frozen novelties for brands including Breyers, Ben and Jerry’s, Magnum, Good Humor, Popsicle, and Klondike.

“The closure of our Henderson facility is in the best long-term interest of our business,” said Reynolds while adding that the facility’s production will be transferred to factories in Sikeston, Missouri; Covington, Tennesse and Vermont.

Unilever stated, production at the Henderson facility would cease at the end of August.
