Dairy Farmers of Britain (DFB) has announced it will close its Fole dairy, near Uttoxeter, with the loss of 246 jobs and up to 15 more will be cut from its head office near Nantwich.
The company said it had been hampered by cream prices, which have nearly halved in 12 months, while energy bills have risen to "unprecedented" levels.
It is cutting up to 640 jobs across the UK in total, including in Portsmouth, Cheshunt, Leeds and Lincoln.
