Milo's Tea Closes Homewood Plant

Big news from Milo's Tea Company! The Homewood manufacturing plant has officially brewed its last batch, closing up shop on January 5th. But don't spill your sweet tea just yet!

Shift to Bessemer

Milo's is shifting production and investment to other locations, with a focus on their Bessemer facility. The good news? Over half of the Homewood employees were offered a spot at the Bessemer plant, keeping their positions and paychecks!

Supporting Employees

For the 38 employees who couldn't make the move, Milo's is offering a helping hand. They're receiving four months of severance pay, benefits, and career support to get back on their feet.

Why the Change?

So, why the closure? Milo's is streamlining operations to focus on facilities with updated infrastructure. This means faster growth, even more delicious real-ingredient tea, and more jobs in the long run!

Future Brews

The Homewood plant had been a part of Milo's relatively recently, since the early 2020s. Milo's assures us that this consolidation will set them up for future growth, all while keeping their Alabama roots firmly planted in Bessemer. Cheers to what's next!
