The J.M. Smucker Co. has announced plans to close its Indianapolis, IN manufacturing facility, which manufactures products from the company's Hostess brand, and will consolidate operations into other existing facilities. The company will close and pursue the sale of its Indianapolis manufacturing facility by early calendar year 2026. The facility employs 371 people. 

"This decision continues the ongoing work to ensure our manufacturing network is optimized to mitigate costs and reduce complexity in support of the execution of our Sweet Baked Snacks strategy, which is focused on stabilizing the Hostess business and positioning it for long-term growth," says Judd Freitag, SVP and general manager, pet and sweet baked snacks. "Any decision that impacts our employees is only made after careful consideration. We appreciate the contributions of our Indianapolis employees, and we will support them through this transition."
