Basel, Switzerland-based Sandoz, a generic pharmaceutical company, has announced plans to close its manufacturing facility in Wilson, North Carolina before the end of 2024.
The closure will impact 213 employees.
According to a company spokesperson, "To remain cost-competitive, it is important to use our sites to full production capacity. In the case of the Wilson site, we have been trying for a while to bring in more volume, but despite all our efforts, not enough options have materialized. This was not a surprise to our associates. We've been fully transparent for years about the closing of the plant. We care about our associates, and we've been intent on respecting and supporting them throughout this process."
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?
