Colabor Group Inc. is closing its distribution centres in Ottawa and London as a result of the end of a supply contract with Recipe Unlimited.
The distributor and wholesaler of food and related products says it will consolidate the Broadline distribution activities of its Summit Foods division in Ontario into its Mississauga distribution centre.
The number of jobs affected by the decision was not immediately released. Colabor’s Ottawa facilities are located at 100 Legacy Rd., a 103,000-square-foot site owned by Canadian Urban Ltd.
