Carbogen Amcis AG will restructure its Switzerland operations in Bubendorf (BL), Aarau (AG) and Hunzenschwil (Neuland, AG), eliminating 60 positions as a result of inadequate profitability. The company currently has approximately 350 employees in Switzerland.

The restructuring efforts aim to allow the Aarau site to focus on development, and the Hunzenschwil (Neuland) site on the pilot production of early phase projects. Large-volume production and the manufacturing of highly active agents will continue at the Bubendorf site. The company plans to bolster the number of employees at the Hunzenschwil (Neuland) site to meet customer demand.

“During the transition we will direct our focus, as we would in any case, towards attending to customer demand and providing our customers with consistently high service,” said Jay R. Vyas, managing director of the Dishman Group, owner of Carbogen Amcis AG. “The restructuring allows us to be prepared for the future as a sustainably successful organization. The restructured company will have potential for growth and the ability to adapt itself to a changing market situation.”
