Roche to sell Colorado facility

As part of a company-wide programee of job cuts and plant closures, Roche plans to sell its Roche Colorado plant in Boulder. Roche acquired the site 16 years ago as part of its acquisition of Syntex. Roche Colorado is focussed on the production of peptides and employs 280 workers. John Tayer, a Roche Colorado spokesman, said "our expectation is that we will continue to build on our strong record of achievement in the peptide arena both in technical development and manufacturing, and whoever buys us would have a long-term relationship with Roche".
