The transaction includes the transfer of all associated assets and employees of Sandoz Turkey on the Gebze site. The deal is expected to close by mid-2020 subject to obtaining the necessary approvals from regulatory authorities, including the Competition Board, the Gebze Plastic Manufacturers Organized Industrial Zone and the Ministry of Industry and Technology.
