Closure considered for Kettering mochi ice cream factory

Closure is being considered for Little Moons’ Kettering factory, less than a year after it opened.

Workers at the plant in Kettering have been told it is likely to close, according to reports in the Northamptonshire Telegraph, with their jobs now at risk following an assessment of the business.

The producer of mochi ice cream has seen its products hit the shelves of major supermarkets, with its growth leading to a 50,000 sq ft factory at Cransley Park.

In a statement the business said it had “led a robust assessment of its business to ensure operational efficiency that will facilitate a stable and profitable future.”

It added that this had “resulted in proposed structural changes across the whole business” including how it goes to market and manufactures. This includes “exploring the viability of shutting down the factory in Kettering” and consolidating operations back into Park Royal and Wembley.

The business noted that the proposals may lead to job losses, with staff being formally consulted before final decisions are made.
