Elanco Animal Health has made the business decision to exit ownership of our Dundee manufacturing operations. Over the coming months, one of our top priorities will be to seek a buyer for ongoing manufacturing operations at the site.

If efforts to find a suitable buyer are unsuccessful, we will commence the transfer of product supply to other manufacturing sites, leading to a site closure. If this were to occur, the company anticipates the transition of production would take approximately two years to complete.
