Overview
- The Trafford Park factory stopped production on Friday, September 4, 2026, and Kellogg's has moved manufacturing and packing of its UK cereals to the Wrexham plant.
- Kellanova expects roughly 300 job losses when the site closes, though some reports put the number at about 360, and around 10% of Trafford staff have already secured roles in Wrexham.
- The company will keep the Trafford Park site open through the end of 2026 to complete the closure process and to support staff through the transition.
- Usdaw says it won enhanced redundancy payments and relocation support, and Kellogg's is offering tailored help such as career guidance, CV support, training and financial advice to affected workers.
- Opened in 1938 and once able to make more than one million boxes a day, the factory is being wound down for economic reasons while Kellogg's retains a UK base at MediaCity and a St Helens distribution centre and supports a local archive exhibition.
