A company that manufactures and develops pharmaceutical drugs announced that it will close its plant in Alachua County and lay off an additional 76 employees, just months after terminating over 100 employees in what was originally described as a “mass layoff.”
Resilience announced that it will close its plant at 13200 NW Nano Court in Alachua in a Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filing with the Florida Department of Commerce.
The company says it anticipates the terminations will be permanent, commencing on June 20 and continuing through September 1.
The terminations will impact approximately 76 employees, of which 65 will be terminated on the initial date (June 20). The other eleven employees will remain employed for limited times to continue to “assist with certain tasks,” according to the company.
Late last year, Resilience announced that it was terminating 105 employees at the same worksite. At the time, the company anticipated that all of the terminations would be effectuated by June 1. It did not, however, indicate that the site would close.
The closure announcement comes less than 10 days after that round of terminations ended.
According to its website, Resilience is a biomanufacturing contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) that improves “access to complex medicines, with end-to-end solutions for sale and scalable manufacturing.”
