Bad news for Lonza in Visp.

The pharmaceutical company Moderna wants to produce its corona vaccines itself in the future – and no longer at Lonza in Visp USA. For Valais this is no triviality, as Lonza is the main employer in the canton.

The closure of Moderna is “not good news” for government president and economic director Christophe Darbellay (52), as he said when asked by Blick. “But not a catastrophe either,” he adds. It was predictable that demand for corona vaccines would decrease, Darbellay said.

“More than confident”

However, Lonza is more than firmly positioned to continue to operate successfully in Visp in the future. “So I’m not worried about jobs,” Darbellay says. He is convinced that Lonza has benefited from the partnership with Moderna: it has allowed the company to showcase its competencies worldwide “and bring on board many good and lucrative customers.” It shows that as a company today you have to be very agile in order to be able to reposition yourself at any time. “I have every confidence that Lonza can do it.”
