Asset liquidators and auctioneers Rabin will auction a 4.5 meg co-generation installation and conventional power house system assets following the closure of the Campbell’s soup manufacturing plant in Ontario, Canada.
The decision to close the 87 year old Ontario plant was taken to improve operational efficiency. Retrofitting the plant was not a viable option for this, the oldest and smallest of the Campbell facilities, and production was moved across to other sites in North Carolina, Ohio and Texas.
