Pfizer cuts 150 jobs at Portage manufacturing site
Pfizer Inc. will eliminate 150 positions at its manufacturing facility in Portage, Michigan, the company confirmed to Michigan News Source. The reductions were reported during the October 13–14, 2026 period and affect roles at the Portage site in the Health Care sector.
Company media relations told Michigan News Source that the cuts are tied to lower production volumes associated with reduced projected demand for products manufactured at the Portage facility. The company emphasized that the reductions are not a reflection of employee performance and said it will provide support services and communication to affected employees, according to that report.
The announcement follows prior workforce reductions at the same site: Michigan News Source noted roughly 200 layoffs at the Portage facility in November 2023 that were attributed to declining demand for COVID-19 products. Pfizer further stated that it regularly evaluates its manufacturing network to align capacity with patient needs, product demand and long-term business goals, per the same disclosure.
In total, the reported Health Care layoffs for October 13–14, 2026 include 150 job cuts at the Portage, Michigan facility, as reported by Michigan News Source.
