Executive Summary
Siemens Healthcare is reportedly cutting 300 positions and closing its facility in Brookfield, Connecticut, which manufactures instruments used in medical labs. The site, which Siemens gained through its $7bn acquisition of Dade Behring in 2007 (www.clinica.co.uk, 25 January 2008), will be “consolidated” with the firm’s facilities in Flanders, New Jersey, which employs around 450 staff.
