Hi there
I am looking for a list of Abbotts global manufacturing
facilities/plants. I just completed a list for Hoffman La Roche and
the answer would look like this

USA
San Carlos	CA	Diagnostic test kits and reagents

If the product manufactured can be determined that would be a plus, if
not, not to worry.

Thanks

The title of your question identifies Hoffman-La Roche, but the text
of your question asks for facilities belonging to Abbott.  Just to be
on the safe side, can you clarify which company it is you are looking
for.  Thanks.

Hello Gill,

This is as complete a list as I can compile.

1. ROCHE PHARMACEUTICALS 

According to an announcement at the end of 2001: Changes in Roche's
portfolio of existing products have resulted in significant
over-capacity in various production sites. Therefore, Roche plans to
reorganise its global manufacturing activities. This will impact
production in Basel (Switzerland) and Welwyn (UK). As a result Roche
plans to phase out manufacturing operations in the Welwyn site, and
reduce chemical production in Basel.
