Nabisco factory in New Jersey closing after 63 years

Friday was the last day for residents of a New Jersey town to smell the sweet aroma of freshly baked Oreo cookies as the community’s Nabisco plant shut down after 63 years in operation.

Parent company Mondelez International confirmed it was the last day of production at the Fair Lawn plant, which has produced Oreos, Ritz crackers, Lorna Doone and Teddy Grahams since 1958.

The plant’s approximately 600 workers have either retired, transferred or were looking for other jobs, the company said.

Production began slowing when the company announced in February that it would close the plant in New Jersey and one in Atlanta.

“Both Fair Lawn and Atlanta are no longer strategic assets from a geographic footprint perspective and both face significant operational challenges, including aging infrastructure and outdated production capabilities, which would have required significant investment to bring them to the modernized state required for the future,” the company said in a statement in February.

The Atlanta plant closed in June. A plant in Richmond, Virginia, remains open.

  1. In other words, Democrats have made those places too expensive
    to do business.
    Hydrox cookies are better.

  2. Watch the foods that created America – you will see Nabisco owner was all part of the elite Cabal. They are thieves and crooks running our country and buying politicians.
