Haemonetics to lay off 75 in California facility closure

By

HaemoneticsHaemonetics (NYSE:HAE) recently filed with the state of California to confirm a facility closure that affects a total of 75 employees.

According to the California Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification program, the medtech company notified the state on Oct. 22 and the state processed the filing on Nov. 6. It outlines the permanent closure of a facility in Covina, California, leading to the layoff of 75 employees.

Haemonetics plans for the closure to go into effect on Dec. 31, 2024.

The closure comes as part of plans announced in November 2023 to end the life of its blood inline collection. These products land within the Blood Center business units at Haemonetics. The decision also ended the life of associated manufacturing operations.

Haemonetics also ended the life of the ClotPro system within its Hospital business. The company disclosed the decisions in its Nov. 2 10-Q quarterly report.

A Haemonetics spokesperson shared the following statement to MassDevice via email:

“We made this decision carefully with recognition for the impact on our employees and customers. Over the course of 2024, Haemonetics has reached out to our customers and been proactively involved in their planning to transition to alternative products offered by our company where available, and in other cases to products offered by third parties. Recently, we provided notice to employees at our Covina manufacturing facility regarding the cessation by Haemonetics of manufacturing operations at this location, and we are committed to supporting them through this transition.”
