Japanese giant Takeda will cut 280 jobs at its European headquarters near Zurich.
Japanese pharmaceutical company Takeda Pharmaceutical Company has announced that it plans to eliminate 280 jobs at its European headquarters in Opfikon.
The cuts are part of a global savings program that aims to reduce the company's costs by about 1 billion Swiss francs. The exact dates of the layoffs have not yet been made public, albinfo reports.
Takeda is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world and has had a significant presence in Switzerland for years, especially in the Zurich region.
With this announcement, the number of jobs expected to be lost in Switzerland in 2026 and beyond continues to rise. In recent months, several international companies in the pharmaceutical, technology and industrial sectors have announced staff reductions due to rising costs and the economic slowdown.
