Hovione is expanding its facility in East Windsor, NJ, increasing its global development and commercial capacity with an additional 30,600 ft² of space. The company will introduce a new commercial spray dryer unit specifically designed to handle potent drug substances (APIs). The expansion will more than double the drug substance capacity at the site and is expected to add approximately 60 new jobs.
 
“Expanding our manufacturing presence in the U.S. highlights our commitment to our customers that want to manufacture their products in the U.S. and to support the development needs of our ever expanding local customer base. The additional capacity will give us more flexibility and make us more agile to deal with our customer’s fast paced projects.” said Dr. Marco Gil, general manager, Hovione New Jersey.
 
The new capacity is expected to be fully operational in early 2017.
