Pfizer to outsource more to Asia
Pfizer is looking to Asia for both Research and Development and manufacturing outsourcing to cut as much as 30% manufacturing costs. Competition from generic drugs and expiry of some important patent drugs are cited as reasons behind the move. Pfizer announced plans to outsource more in Asia, broadly India and China, at Hong Kong investor meeting last Friday, 

Pfizer is not amongst its good times, last year was quite rough, and high profile clinical trial failure of the drug called Torcetrapib only added wound to the woe. 

The company's presence in the region is likely to wind up with a net increase of about 1,300 positions when all the changes are over, said Tony Sheridan,Pfizer-logo executive director of the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut.

The closing of manufacturing plants worldwide, including at sites in Sandwich, England, Brooklyn, N.Y., and Omaha, Neb., is part of a Pfizer effort to save $2 billion by the end of next year. A total of at least 22 manufacturing plants have been targeted for closure over a two-year period.
