MLive reports signage and new business cards may be the most drastic changes local employees who used to work for Pfizer Inc.’s animal health unit will see this year. Pfizer Inc. spun off the unit into the standalone Zoetis Inc. in February. Some 700 research and development employees and 300 manufacturing employees in Kalamazoo will continue to perform their jobs as before. They also will continue to be crucial in providing farmers and pet owners with drugs that keep animals healthy, the company’s new chief executive officer Juan Ramon Alaix told MLive.
Excerpt: “We are highly dependent on Kalamazoo to generate growth,” he said. “It is in Kalamazoo where most of our products are developed. Our teams there need stability; R&D requires several years of investment and persistence. Stability and people are key factors for us in Kalamazoo.”
