Have you read about the PepsiCo Detroit plant closure?
I came across some interesting news this morning while having coffee. I work with logistics contractors in the US, so I try to keep track of such things, and recently read on GetTransport about the closure of a plant in Detroit, where production is scheduled to stop at the end of September, causing about 80 employees to lose their jobs. I hope you saw this https://blog.gettransport.com/news/pepsico-detroit-plant-closure-details/ news too. The article presents this as part of a broader consolidation strategy to adapt to the market and reduce costs. I am more interested in the logistics side: how such changes affect local transportation and contractors who have been working with the plant for years. Is this a temporary inconvenience? Or does the market in the region usually change for a long time after such decisions?
This is a really interesting topic. In my experience, when production closes but warehousing and delivery remain, logistics does not disappear; it simply reorganizes. Some contractors are affected more than others, but it all depends on flexibility and speed of adaptation. Where exactly do you work?
