Pfizer confirms about 150 job cuts at Portage manufacturing site

Pfizer confirmed around 150 job cuts at its Portage, Michigan, manufacturing facility on October 13, 2026. The announcement predates this week’s later national coverage.

In statements to local news outlets, the company linked the decision to lower production volumes and reduced projected demand for some products made at the site. It also said the decision did not reflect employee performance.

An effective date was not disclosed in the reviewed reporting. This is a workforce reduction at the facility, not an announcement that the Portage site is closing. The 150 estimate should not be combined with older cuts as though all were announced together.
