Source: Biovalley 2013-12-3 along with Merck's reconstruction plan, the list of affected production plants has gradually increased After layoffs in Puerto Rico, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Merck confirmed this week that it would close its factory in swarth, which produces women's health care products, by the end of 2017 The plant employs 570 people, but will cut 130 in the next six months Once the layoffs start, Merck will gradually implement the plan to close the plant In addition, Merck will maintain five other factories in Ireland, so some of the workers in the sworth factory may be relocated to work in these factories If there are buyers willing to buy, there will be more jobs Given that Merck will not completely close the plant until 2017, there is ample time to find a buyer Recent experience shows that we can be optimistic about the outcome of such events Pfizer, for example, sold its Irish plant to Amgen and Lilly a few years ago.
