Gelman makes changes in wake of merger

One month after merging with East Hills, N.Y.-based Pall Corp., Gelman Sciences Inc, has cut some jobs and is adding others as it moves from being a public company to being one unit in a much larger corporation.

Consolidations are occurring in areas formerly needed when Gelman was a public firm, said spokesman Bill Dawson. Cuts include some financial positions, he said. The board of directors also has been eliminated, as has the position of chief executive officer formerly held by founder Charles Gelman.

Some sales and marketing jobs are in flux, too. Gelman’s industrial processing products will be distributed by Pall and some Gelman sales employees have been hired by Pall or have found other jobs within Gelman’s Scio Township operations, Dawson said.

Dawson did not have exact employment figures regarding the number of cuts and new hires. At the end of 1996, Gelman Sciences employed 556 workers in Ann Arbor and 883 employees worldwide.
