THE maker of the famous Australian icon Vegemite, Kraft Foods, is set to cut jobs in Australia after confirming overnight it would slash 8000 jobs worldwide and close a factory in Broadmeadows, Victoria.
Kraft said it expected to close up to 20 production facilities and eliminate about 8000 jobs, or about 8 per cent of its workforce, at all levels of the organisation.
The company said it would close production facilities in Broadmeadows and in Hoover, Alabama, in the US.
A spokesman for Kraft Foods in Australia could not be immediately contacted to comment on expected job cuts.
The company-wide cuts will come on top of those already announced in 2004.
