The changes, involving almost 190 Lewisburg jobs, will begin in 2010 and end by June 2012. They were among a larger group of relocations that P&G announced Monday, Nov. 9, involving nearly 700 employees in Ohio, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Lewisburg is in northeast Preble County. Mason is in southern Warren County.
P&G employees in Lewisburg were summoned to meetings Monday and informed of the upcoming changes, a spokesman said.
Already this year, P&G has closed its Iams-Eukanuba pet food office headquarters in Vandalia, moving its 240 jobs to Mason and selling the Vandalia property.
P&G ultimately may consider selling its pet food business entirely in order to focus on product categories where it sees greater potential to increase sales, industry analysts said last week.
