Just in time for Christmas, 186 workers at Prodose, Inc. in Ronkonkoma have been told they will be out of jobs.
Prodose Inc., better known as Spirit Pharmaceuticals LLC, will shut down in late February. Prodose is an over-the-counter drug company specializing in private-label store brands.
A required WARN notice was filed with the New York State Department of Labor saying 186 workers will be affected which is the entirety of the workforce. The plant will close on February 24, 2025.
Notifications of any layoffs or closures of more than 100 employees trigger the filing of a WARN notice 60 days before the job losses go into effect.
While many WARN notices give a reason for the closure, Prodose Inc. listed the reason as “other”.
In previous IDA Tax filings, the company had mentioned that it was considering a move to South Carolina or New Jersey.
There is no word yet whether this is where the company plans to move.
