The Pennsylvania facility has been engaged primarily in contract manufacturing of molded plastic components and assemblies for consumer-product applications.
The Cornwall facility produces molded elastomeric components for disposable medical devices, as well as elastomeric and plastic components used in pharmaceutical packaging.
West Pharma is also planning to eliminate a limited number of other operational and administrative roles.
West Pharma chairman and CEO Donald Morel said that the plans announced today will reduce the manufacturing capacity devoted to product lines that no longer support sustainable, competitive operations, and will unfortunately result in the loss of a number of jobs over time.
