The firm plans to gradually close its factory and creamery at Crudgington, near Telford, over the next 18 to 24 months with the loss of 161 jobs.
Production of butter and spreads, such as Country Life, will be consolidated at the company's Liverpool base, and production will also increase at the firm's plant in Gloucestershire.
Dairy Crest bosses have said about 50 workers would be able to move to the firm's site in Merseyside with around 20 additional jobs at the Severnside creamery in Gloucestershire.
