Scottish officials are in talks with management at Young’s Pinneys site in Annan to avoid the closure of the site and try to save hundreds of jobs, reports BBC.
Young’s CEO Bill Showalter is expected to take part in the discussions, with opponents to the closure ranging from workers, to trade unions to cross-party officials.
"It is clear many hundreds of jobs are risk -- not only the 450 people employed directly at the factory, but also agency workers, those in the supply chain and the wider local economy," said Scottish Secretary David Mundell.
