Cape Cod Potato Chips Will No Longer Be Made on Cape Cod as Hyannis Factory Plans to Close
Campbell’s will transfer production from Hyannis to newer plants as the facility produces just 4% of volume, ending more than 40 years of local operations and cutting 49 jobs.
- On Thursday, The Campbell's Company announced it will close the Hyannis factory in April, affecting 49 employees at the Breeds Hill Road plant.
- Campbell's said the Hyannis plant on Breeds Hill Road produces only 4% of Cape Cod volume, so it is consolidating production to newer, more efficient plants as part of a Snacks supply-chain transformation.
- The Hyannis plant, opened in 1985, was a rainy-day tourist stop where visitors watched chips made, but tours halted during COVID-19 and never resumed.
- Campbell's said affected workers will receive separation benefits and job placement support, and the company plans to sell the Hyannis site while pledging community grants from The Campbell's Foundation and partnerships with local culinary entrepreneur and workforce development organizations.
- Production will move to larger Campbell's plants in Beloit, Wisconsin; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Hanover, Pennsylvania, keeping the brands produced in the U.S., Campbell's said.
