What Grifols Announced

On April 24, 2026, Grifols said it is closing 29 of its more than 300 US plasma donation centers, alongside consolidating operations into higher-performing locations. The company framed it as a productivity and efficiency move and said it would provide alternative options for donors (Grifols press release; also reported by Reuters via TradingView).

Honest limit: Grifols has not published the full list of 29. We only list a closure below when a news outlet or a posted center notice backs it. Forum lists of other cities exist, but they are unverified, so we left them out. If your center is not listed, check the Grifols center finder before you drive.

Confirmed Grifols / Biomat Closures

Lewiston, Maine · Biomat USA, 239 Main St.

Closed to donors on May 4, 2026; staff then spent until about May 21 packing up. An employee said it was no longer accepting new donors in the final weeks.

Related, not a US closure: in September 2026 Grifols paused all plasma collection in Canada (CBC News).

Where to Donate Instead

Closed center	Closest CSL / Octapharma option	Notes
Lewiston, ME	CSL Plasma, Brewer, ME	The Sun Journal listed CSL in Brewer and the Red Cross in Portland as Maine's remaining plasma options. We found no Octapharma center in Maine.
Bozeman, MT	No CSL or Octapharma confirmed in Montana	BioLife lists centers in Billings and Great Falls. Use the CSL and Octapharma finders to check for new openings.
Bismarck, ND	No CSL or Octapharma confirmed in North Dakota	BioLife lists centers in Bismarck and Fargo. Check the finders before assuming.

The honest takeaway: in Maine, CSL Plasma is a real replacement. In Montana and North Dakota, our verified in-state alternative is BioLife, not CSL or Octapharma. See CSL vs BioLife if that is your situation. Center lists change, so confirm hours on the official finder, and browse our CSL Plasma locations list.

If Your Grifols Center Closed: Quick Checklist

Check your card and account. Grifols pays on a prepaid card; confirm your balance and any pending bonus with Grifols directly. We have not seen a published policy on unfinished bonuses.
Look for a nearby Grifols center first if you want to keep your history and bonuses. The company said it is consolidating into higher-performing locations.
Switching brands counts as a new donor at CSL or Octapharma, so new donor promos usually apply. Do not donate at two centers in the same week; the national registry blocks overlapping donations.
Estimate your earnings with the plasma pay calculator and compare rates in the Grifols pay chart, CSL pay chart and Octapharma pay chart.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Grifols plasma centers closed in 2026?

Grifols announced on April 24, 2026 that it is closing 29 of its more than 300 US plasma donation centers as part of a network optimization. The company has not publicly itemized every location; this page lists only the closures confirmed by local news or a posted notice.

Which Grifols centers have closed?

Three have credible, location-specific sources: Lewiston, Maine (239 Main St.), Bozeman, Montana, and Bismarck, North Dakota (W Interstate Ave.). Each stopped taking donors on May 4, 2026.

Where can I donate plasma if my Grifols center closed?

Check the Find a Center tools for CSL Plasma and Octapharma Plasma. In Maine, the Sun Journal reported CSL Plasma in Brewer as one of the remaining plasma centers. In Montana and North Dakota we could not confirm a CSL or Octapharma location, so use the finders; BioLife is the nearest brand we could verify there.

Can I still use a Grifols referral code?

Grifols referral bonuses are tied to donating at Grifols, so they only help if you still have an open Grifols center near you. If yours closed, a new-donor signup at CSL Plasma or Octapharma is the practical route.
