Jun 9, 2021 11:21am This marks the second time Novartis has decided to extend operations at its soon-to-be-shuttered Grimsby plant. As Novartis shifts away from the production of older, less profitable drugs, the drugmaker has placed a slew of production facilities in the cost-cutting crosshairs. But with the company facing increased demand for two unnamed products, one plant is set to keep on churning through next year. More than 200 Novartis manufacturing workers will keep their jobs for another year after the company unveiled plans to continue work at a soon-to-be-shuttered U.K. factory through the end of 2022, BusinessLive reports, quoting site head Ian Johnson. “These changes mean the majority of roles will be required longer,” he said.
