Smithfield closes one of its meat distribution centers

The information was posted by the state Commerce Department. The company said that by the end of October it will close all operations in the Johnston County town of Clayton.

The company will lay off 102 employees from this unit. The first wave of layoffs will start October 7.

As reported by the Herald Sun, the company did not comment on the reason for the closing of the facility.

Furthermore, in August, a federal jury took the decision that Smithfield owed $473.5 million to three hog farms in Pender County. Herald Sun reports that the decision was based on a lawsuit filled by six neighbors of the company's facility.
