On May 25, 2012, Pinnacle Foods Finance LLC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Pinnacle Foods Group LLC, announced plans to further improve the efficiency of its supply chain by consolidating its Vlasic pickle production into one plant in Imlay City, Michigan. The company's decision to focus on its branded Vlasic business and de-emphasize its lower-margin, un-branded pickle business was the catalyst for this consolidation. Pinnacle's other pickle production plant, located in Millsboro, Delaware, will plan to end production around year-end. To enable the transition to the Imlay City plant, Pinnacle Foods will be investing significant capital to increase capacity, upgrade existing manufacturing capabilities and improve efficiencies. This will result in the creation of new full-time and seasonal jobs.
