TreeHouse Foods works to make operations better and more profitable by cutting its corporate workforce by 150 positions. The private-label food and beverage manufacturer declares its restructuring aim on Thursday through organizational transformations aimed at optimizing support functions and expenses.
The departure of Chief Commercial Officer Scott Tassani takes place on May 30 as his duties move to different senior leadership team members. TreeHouse designs its management structure reduction based on its dedication to efficient business operations.
During his talk Steve Oakland highlighted the new market demands that drive the business transformation. Oakland believes our company has considerable room for performance enhancement that will help us provide better customer experiences at improved profitability. Our new operating model and reduced costs will make us stronger in our market arena as consumer buying patterns continue to evolve.
The Illinois-based company has faced significant challenges in recent years, including:
- Two major product recalls since 2023 affecting broth and breakfast items
- Weak consumer spending in key markets
- Inconsistent financial performance
- Declining stock value, currently at a 17-year low
The company is scheduled to release its first-quarter financial results on May 6.
