06 Juin 2022 - 10:24PM
Business Wire
Retractable Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: RVP) reports that
it has reduced its workforce by approximately 16% as a result of
the substantial completion of its facility expansion efforts and
the completion of U.S. government orders to provide its products
for COVID-19 vaccination efforts. The staff reduction primarily
affects its production, operations and logistics departments. The
reduction will result in an overall annualized savings of
approximately $2.1 million dollars, or 13% in annual payroll
expense, and separation costs are expected to be approximately $200
thousand. The company expects that it will be able to maintain its
current level of domestic production after the headcount reduction,
and have significantly enhanced domestic production capacity upon
completion of the expansion efforts.
