Hollister-Stier Laboratories has purchased seven acres of land adjacent to its Spokane, WA facility. The purchase of the 294,535-sq.-ft. lot provides the company with the additional space needed for the $30 million expansion that begins this fall, as well as room for future expansion. The company will install a new high-speed filling line to more than double its current capacity. The new filling line and cleanroom complex will be constructed on a portion of the land closest to the current facility. This new line can handle 2 mL – 100 mL vials and fill approximately 400 vials per minute.

“We recognize what our customers’ value,” stated Anthony Bonanzino, Ph.D., president and chief executive. “HollisterStier’s commitment to providing our customers with a high quality manufacturing facility in addition to superior service is our first priority. We are pleased with the recent land purchase as it reflects our ongoing investment in the future of our customers, employees, services and our community.”
