Nestlé's Wiri confectionery factory. Photo / GoogleConfectionery manufacturer Nestlé is proposing to make 45 staff at its Wiri factory redundant as it seeks to move production to its Allen's factory in Australia. It says its plans mean the end of confectionery manufacturing on site, however, the factory will continue to manufacture other products, and will continue as a regional hub for Maggi and its Nestlé Docello brands. Nestlé confectionery general manager Chris O'Donnell said that Nestlé regretted that the proposal would mean job losses at Wiri. "The size of the confectionery manufacturing plant and the number of jobs it provides to South Auckland workers is significant," Natoli said.
