Baxter is an American Multinational Healthcare company. They primarily focus on products to treat kidney disease, like renal filters for dialysis. Formally known as Gambro, they chose to settle in Opelika back in 2005, investing $165 million into their facility.

When Baxter took over, they invested an additional $252 million to double the size of the facility. Mayor of Opelika Gary Fuller says he was stunned to learn of the closing.

“Part of what we’re trying to do with those Baxter employees to get them resituated, Alabama has what’s called a Rapid Response Team. They’re scheduled to come into Baxter on October 31st and November 1st with sort of a job fair. They’ve invited companies to come and meet Baxter associates that might be looking for a job.”
