The filing states approximately 3,000 employees and contingent workers at September 30, 2025, primarily in the United States, with services 71% of revenue, so the repository and genomics services lead at scientific R&D services and the automated stores and consumables take medical equipment manufacturing by description.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
