Fears for Jobs as Organon Puts Buckhaven Factory up for Sale

One of Scotland's most advanced pharmaceutical factories could be facing closure following a decision by its Netherlands-based owner to put it up for sale. Organon, the healthcare division of Dutch chemical giant Akzo Nobel, will this week send a brochure promoting its Diosynth factory in Buckhaven to potential buyers. The plant, which employs 88 staff including chemists and operatives, has been declared surplus to Organon's needs because the group's own chemicals are now produced elsewhere.
