    Recently, according to a warning notice sent by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, the company has decided to close its manufacturing plant in Memphis, Tennessee, and 156 employees will face unemployment


    GSK pointed out that the layoff plan has been brewing for some time


    A few years ago, another GSK spokesperson said in an interview with foreign media Fierce Pharma that the Memphis factory, which mainly produces Polident denture cleaning products and other oral brands, opened in 1964


    In the end, GSK sold 17 North American market drug assets to Prestige Brands for $660 million


    The unsold Memphis plant received a $2 million investment in 2015 to upgrade its infrastructure


    The company said in the factory shutdown alert that the rapid response team of the local labor development zone in Memphis has begun to handle the case and provide coordination services with its employees at GSK


    At the end of last month, GSK announced the company's operations and R&D plans for the next 10 years at an investor event


    Although the company is currently in the process of business spin-off and reorganization, GSK did not provide specific reasons for the closure of the Memphis plant and a new round of layoffs
