Dean is not closing Garelick’s distribution plant in Bangor, which has 38 employees.
Spokesman Jamaison Schuler tells the Bangor Daily News the company is moving production to Garelick’s three other plants, in Massachusetts and New York.
The Bangor facility has been in operation since 1902. Garelick Farms bought the plant in 1994.
Garelick was bought by Suiza, which went on to become Dean Foods, in 1997.
