Amid in­spec­tion and re­call woes, Au­robindo to shut down NJ site in April

An In­dia-based gener­ic man­u­fac­tur­ing gi­ant that has had its fair share of run-ins with FDA in­spec­tors will close a New Jer­sey site, and elim­i­nate 99 jobs in April.

Au­robindo filed a no­tice with the De­part­ment of La­bor stat­ing that its Day­ton site will lay off 99 em­ploy­ees on April 26. Those em­ploy­ees in­clude 50 dis­pens­ing op­er­a­tors, six as­so­ciate chemists and two pack­ing me­chan­ics.

Em­ploy­ees will be paid their reg­u­lar wage through the 60-day no­tice pe­ri­od, un­til the April sep­a­ra­tion date, the no­tice said. Au­robindo did not re­spond to a re­quest for com­ment by the time of pub­li­ca­tion.
