Villa Maria’s Māngere operations will start shutting down this October and will affect a total of 14 roles, owner Indevin announced today.

Indevin Group, who acquired Villa Maria in 2021, said the decision follows a three-month review into its Māngere operations after the company announced it will move half of Villa Maria’s bottling to the UK next February.

The Māngere plant will start decommissioning in October and is expected to continue until next April, the company announced.

BusinessDesk managing editor, Pattrick Smellie, joined Heather du Plessis-Allan to discuss the move.
