Midmark announced that it is shutting down its Orchard Park, NY, facility and shifting its dental and veterinary divisions to its manufacturing facility in Versailles, OH. Some 80 employees in the dental and veterinary divisions will be affected, according to the company.
Orchard Park site was "substantially under capacity" and was affecting the company's cost position and earnings, Midmark said.
"The current economic condition has negatively impacted Midmark, as it has many businesses," said Anne Eiting Klamar, president and CEO, in a press release. "This was not an easy decision to make, but after careful consideration, we believe that it is the best thing to do for the long-term security of Midmark and its teammates."
The transition is expected to last approximately 90 days. During this time, Midmark said it will continue to produce its air, vacuum, and anesthesia products, so customers should not experience any lapses in product and supply availability.
