AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT PERRIGO

Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Perrigo, a manufacturer of private-label over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, has announced significant layoffs and restructuring, largely tied to its struggling infant formula business and broader cost-cutting efforts, as part of a two-year plan to streamline operations and improve profitability. The company plans to permanently close its infant formula manufacturing plant in Georgia, Vermont, as part of a phased shutdown of the facility.

The closure will affect 162 employees. Manufacturing operations are expected to end by late June 2026, with the remaining jobs eventually eliminated.

Change is constant, and it's coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT ADARE PHARMA SOLUTIONS

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based Adare Pharma Solutions, a contract development and manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, has announced the planned closure of its Orthodox Street tablets/capsules manufacturing and packaging facility in Philadelphia by June 30, 2026.

The closure will impact 137 employees with layoffs scheduled between March 1, 2026, and June 30, 2026.

A company spokesperson noted that the decision to consolidate its manufacturing operations was made due to adverse economic situations for our clients, and after a thorough review and exploration of alternative uses for the facility. We are working with our clients and employees to mitigate the transition. Adare will continue to invest in our nearby Dungan site and elsewhere, including making every effort to accommodate some of our Orthodox site employees at other facilities. Adare is committed to the state of Pennsylvania."
