Following Galderma-Spirig's decision to close its Egerkingen site in September 2017, Omya International, based in the nearby municipality of Oftringen, will transfer research and development activities to the site. To this end, Omya is acquiring the property of Nestl\u00e9 Skin Health, the parent company of Galderma-Spirig.
\nIn addition to acquiring the plot, including all buildings and facilities,Omya intends to acquire Spirig Pharma's Cosmospheres division, which develops and manufactures high-quality cellulose additives for the cosmetics industry. Omya will offer continued employment to employees in this business area. In addition, the continued employment of building management and maintenance staff is under review.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Omya's head office in Oftringen has grown considerably and reached its capacity limits. With the transfer of research and development activities to Egerkingen, capacity constraints will be eliminated in the long term without additional construction, and premises will be made available for the company's other fast-growing activities.
\nThe buildings at the Egerkingen site have a modern technical infrastructure, suitable for research and development activities without substantial structural intervention. The Cosmospheres division, which Omya intends to acquire, would complement and expand Omya's offering, which already includes raw materials for the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Ultimately, up to 350 full-time jobs will be based at the new site.<\/p>\n
