STERIS is consolidating formulated chemistries manufacturing and distribution into the new North Carolina Center of Excellence. The plan is expected to close facilities in St. Louis, Missouri, and Plymouth, Minnesota, by March 31, 2027. STERIS expects total pre-tax restructuring charges of $55 million to $70 million through fiscal 2030, with $25 million to $30 million associated with the two facility closures and approximately $5 million to $7 million of that closure-related amount expected to be cash costs. The restructuring will increase capital expenditures and modestly reduce projected free cash flow while most charges are expected to be non-cash.
