The plant opened in 1971 and has been owned by Scotsburn since 2001.
CEO Doug Ettinger says closing the plant is a difficult decision but the company is under mounting pressure to reduce costs and become more efficient in a competitive industry.
Ettinger says workers in Saint John will have the opportunity to apply for jobs at the company’s other facilities.
