Unilever Warrington Disused Factory

UNILEVER’s Warrington factory permanently closed on Thursday 22nd October 2020 after 130 years in business.
The manufacturing giant revealed plans to shut its historic Crosfields site, where its Persil and Surf washing powders are made, earlier this year.
Thursday 22nd October 2022 will be the final day of production at the Bank Quay factory where around 125 workers were employed.
Unilever pointed to a ‘sustained and irreversible decline in demand’ for washing powder as its reason for closing the site, which is shared with PQ Corporation.
Sales have fallen by 15 per cent in recent years, with customers increasingly using liquids and capsules for their laundry and the production line running at less than half of its capacity.
The company intends to move most of its manufacturing of washing powders to a partner in Europe, with smaller volumes set to be moved to its other factories.
