Car component manufacturer Ecomold, formerly known as Linpac, is likely to be forced to close its sites in Dunstable and Southend having fallen into administration last year.
KPMG – the administrators currently handling the company’s operations – has been unable to find a buyer for Ecomold, though it is continuing to seek offers.
If no buyer is found, the Dunstable factory will close in August, closely followed by the Southend facility in September.
A total of 384 workers are now facing redundancy.
