This morning, local Baxter leadership notified City of Opelika officials that the company planned to stop production at its manufacturing plant in Opelika.

According to the press release, Baxter leadership emphasized that this outcome is not a reflection on the quality employees and business climate in Opelika, but was brought on by global market conditions that have impacted demand and overseas competition.

Mayor Fuller expressed his disappointment and concern for the employees, “We are very shocked and disappointed to hear that Baxter plans to close its Opelika facility. The City and our Economic Development team will be working closely with Baxter, the Alabama Department of Commerce, the Opelika Chamber, Southern Union and our other workforce partners to assist these employees in finding other careers here in our area.
