from National Foods
The historic Booval milk and butter factory in Ipswich is set to close and relocate to Logan City.
The owner National Foods announced the closure today (see attached) which will result in the loss of 100 Ipswich jobs.
The factory has served generations of Ipswich residents and its closure has surprised locals.
In recent years, its key operation has been milk production.
It was formerly part of the Dairy Farmers chain.
Ipswich Planning and Development spokesman Cr Paul Tully described the closure as "totally disappointing".
"This has come without warning and will affect many Ipswich families.
"I am calling on the company to reconsider its decision," Cr Tully said.
