Latham, New York-based AngioDynamics, a medical device manufacturer, has announced the shutdown of their manufacturing facilities in Queensbury, New York and Glens Falls, New York by the second half of 2025.
It is unknown how many employees will be impacted.
According to Jim Clemmer, President and Chief Executive Officer, "Today, we are announcing meaningful steps in our strategic transformation. We have initiated a restructuring of our manufacturing footprint and are shifting to an outsourced model."
"Currently, more than 80% of our Med Tech revenue utilizes third-party manufacturing. Fully shifting both Med Device and Med Tech to this model will allow us to more effectively compete in our chosen markets, fundamentally changing our corporate gross margin profile and driving us to profitability in two years.”
“Additionally, we continue our efforts to further optimize our portfolio following the divestiture of our BioSentry and Dialysis businesses in June, making us a more focused med-tech company. While our second quarter revenue was softer than we would have liked, particularly in our Thrombus business, we were pleased to complete enrollment of our APEX-AV trial and believe our sales training and education efforts along with new product launches and the anticipated PE indication will solidify this business as a growth driver. With all of these initiatives, we believe we are taking the right steps to generate meaningful long-term growth and profitability while improving patient outcomes in the markets we serve.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
