Jenx Ltd, a Sheffield-based medical manufacturer, has announced the closure of its South Yorkshire production facility, resulting in 47 redundancies. The company will now concentrate on its UK distribution arm, Jiraffe, which remains operational and continues to expand.
Existing Jenx products will remain fully supported, and the company has confirmed ongoing collaboration with global partners to ensure continued service for the devices already in use. Jiraffe will maintain its partnerships, including with Rifton, supplying products and services to children, carers, therapists, and funding bodies across the UK.
The company has not provided a timeline for the closure but emphasised that maintaining product support and customer continuity is a priority.
This move marks a shift from manufacturing to distribution, reflecting a strategic refocus on areas with long-term growth potential within the UK market.
