The company announced Wednesday morning that it will shutter the local office as well as one in Norwalk, Connecticut. It will consolidate those operations at its headquarters in Camden, New Jersey, where it plans to invest $50 million.
The office at 13515 Ballantyne Corporate Place employs about 212 people, a Campbell Soup spokesperson tells CBJ. While a small number of facility-related roles will be eliminated, the majority of the jobs at the Charlotte and Norwalk offices will be relocated.
