Proctor & Gamble said it will continue operations at its Iowa City Beauty Care plant despite announcing two years ago it would be cutting jobs at the plant, KCRG reported.
The company announced it planned to add in more staff and production capabilities, the news agency reported.
“Over the past two years, Procter & Gamble has been conducting a variety of studies to help determine the future of our Iowa City plant," Jason Jackson, Plant Manager with P&G Iowa City Beauty Care told the news agency. "One thing’s become obvious to us: We need both Iowa City and our Tabler Station plants to meet the emerging needs of our North America business. The strong performance of Iowa City’s workforce, and the community’s culture of innovation were important factors in making this decision for our future.”
The company plans to continue hair care operations at the plant and add in oral rinse production. It anticipates adding in more job opportunities in the future, the news agency reported.
