The Schwan Food Co. announced plans to lay off over 300 workers across the country, with some of the cuts taking place at its corporate offices in Minnesota.
The Marshall-based foods company said that it undertook the move in an effort to reorganize its home delivery division, and cited "challenging economic conditions" as the driving force behind the measure.
The company will lay off 30 workers in Marshall, who work in its home service division. Positions cut were in the areas of marketing, finance, operations, strategic planning and development.
Around the country, 307 positions were eliminated at various sales and distribution centers; the company also expanded the responsibilities of its general managers.
The company said that as part of the restructuring effort, it would create about 123 new positions nationwide, eight of them in Marshall.
Employees affected by the cuts were notified Monday. They will have the opportunity to apply for the new positions.
The company is also looking to fill 50 manufacturing positions in Marshall.
Recently, the Business Journal reported that the company would close a dessert plant in South Carolina, laying off 525 workers.
