<SNIP>Update, Holland, March 22, 2005, 12:04 p.m.) As part of a global manufacturing review, Pfizer has announced it will end production at its facility in Holland.

The company is looking for someone else to own or operate the facility under a lease agreement, which officials hope is in place by the end of 2006. Beyond that, the site may not stay open.

Nat Ricciardi, president of Pfizer Global Manufacturing, says the decision is part of an extensive assessment of the company's manufacturing operations over the past two years, which is when the company acquired Pharmacia.

Man, Holland just takes hit, after hit, after hit. I really feel badly for them. With actions like this it's no wonder prescriptions cost so much and big pharma. is so profitable. They are limiting supply.
