COSMETICS company L'Oreal is to relocate one of its principal divisions to Pilsworth in Bury after announcing its Greengate site in Middleton is to close next year.
The current 275-strong workforce will be offered jobs at the new site and at another major location at Trafford Park. Around 200 employees are expected to transfer to Trafford Park with the remainder being based at Pilsworth when its existing distribution warehouse at Greengate shuts next summer.
Pilsworth will cater for L'Oreal's new professional products division. Its larger consumer products division will relocate to Trafford Park.
The company say the transfer is necessary to allow the firm to expand.
