No more canning at Seneca Foods Seneca Foods has made plans to turn its Hoffman Street, Newark canning plant into a warehouse. Lost will be about 100 seasonal jobs. Twenty-five managers and other workers will be relocated to Seneca Foods sites, many out of state. The Newark plant was built in 1918. Seneca Foods purchased it in 1973 and used it to can potatoes, carrots and mixed vegetables. The canning operations will be moved out of state, to Idaho, Minnesota, Washington and Wisconsin. Seneca Foods currently has canning operations in Marion, Geneva and Leicester. Company headquarters will remain in Pittsford. Seneca Foods processes vegetables for Libby's, Aunt Nellie's Farm Kitchen and Green Giant, among others.
