Eli Lilly & Co. is closing one of its three plants in Puerto Rico. Lilly attributes the closure of the site, in Guayama, to generics competition and a shift in its pipeline toward insulin and biologics.

Lilly, which hopes to sell the Guayama site, will take a $170 million pretax charge in the fourth quarter.
