I wonder if Glaxo's announcement today of a manufacturing retrenchment might slow their taking some of their CTAL-manufactured products back in-house. Sounds like they are cutting back half in the UK, half elsewhere, with emphasis on formulation facilities.

Glaxo Unveils Manufacturing Overhaul,
Shrinking Payroll by 5.7% in Four Years
By STEPHEN D. MOORE
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Glaxo Wellcome PLC unveiled a long-awaited overhaul of its global manufacturing operations, designed to reduce annual operating costs by 7% and shrink the British drug maker's world-wide payroll by 5.7% over the next four years.

The manufacturing overhaul will target so-called formulation plants, where medicines are mixed, pressed into tablets or capsules and packaged. About half the projected job cuts will be in the U.K. The company said it plans to phase out a plant in Dartford, Kent, by 2003, cutting 1,500 jobs.
