The closure of Fonterra's Canpac operations in Hamilton is expected to be confirmed.
In April the dairy giant announced its plan to shutdown the entire canning and packaging facility in July.
At the time Fonterra chief operating officer, Anna Palairet said low product volumes and increasing complexities in production had created challenging economic conditions for the facility.
The company would work through a consultation process including exploring potential redeployment opportunities before operations were planned to come to an end, she said.
RNZ understands the 120 staff who work at the site have been called to a meeting with the company on Thursday to confirm the closure plan.
