CSL Vifor cutting 85 jobs in California

CSL Vifor will lay off 85 employees in the Bay Area following a strategic review conducted by CSL Behring, the parent company.
The cuts are set to go into effect by Oct. 25 at CSL Vifor’s location in Redwood City, CA, according to a state WARN notice.
CSL Behring acquired Vifor for $11.6 billion in 2021, and the company was brought under the CSL brand last year.
A CSL spokesperson told Endpoints News that a “strategic review” determined that “changes to the CSL Vifor US commercial organization” were required, resulting in the workforce reduction.
“The transition to the new CSL Vifor US organization will impact the US workforce, resulting in position eliminations while also creating new job opportunities,” the CSL spokesperson said.
CSL did not provide details about what positions will be affected.
The company, formerly known as Vifor Pharma, makes several drugs that treat iron deficiency, such as Venofer and Maltofer, and nephrology medicines like Veltassa, which treats hyperkalemia, or high levels of potassium in the blood.
