The Quebec City facility will close by the end of the year.
Bimbo Canada is closing its bakery in Quebec City by the end of the year as it looks to optimize its manufacturing footprint.
The bakery employs 141 associates, the company said.
Operations will wind down gradually over the balance of the year, and production will move to Bimbo Canada’s other bakeries.
"By consolidating and continuing to make significant investments in our operations, we will ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of our business," said Marie-Ève Royer, president, Bimbo Canada, in a release. "It was a difficult decision, and I will personally ensure that we do everything possible to ease the impact on our people."
In addition to a period of working notice, Bimbo Canada said it will provide severance packages, personal counselling and outplacement services.
The closure follows that of Bimbo Canada’s Lévis, Que. facility this past summer.
