Amgen to cut 150 jobs in Colorado
June 3, 2011
Amgen has notified about 150 of its Longmont-Boulder, Colo., employees that their jobs will be eliminated Aug. 1, according to The Denver Post.
"It was a decision we made locally to align with our current manufacturing demands at the Colorado site," said Amgen Colorado spokeswoman Diana Sherman-Palmer. "The positions were eliminated to maximize our manufacturing process."
Sherman-Palmer said Amgen employs about 850 in Longmont and Boulder. She said the jobs being cut are support positions for manufacturing, business services, quality control, facilities and engineering.
The facilities make treatments for several conditions, including chemotherapy side effects, anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease and osteoarthritis.
