Haleon to Cut 435 Jobs, Shut U.K. Production Site
By Michael Susin
Haleon said it will shut its toothpaste and mouthwash production site in the U.K. by 2026 and cut 435 jobs.
A spokesperson of the pharmaceutical giant on Tuesday said the Maidenhead manufacturing site is no longer a viable option to manufacture its products. The toothpaste production will be moved to Slovakia, while mouthwash products will be transferred to a third party which is yet to be announced, the spokesperson said.
The proposal, following a review of its global capabilities, is subject to consultation with the affected employees.
Haleon added that it continues to have a substantial presence in the U.K. and that it is investing over 130 million pounds ($163.3 million) in an oral health research and development facility in Weybridge.
Shares at 1223 GMT were up 2% at 338.0 pence.
