About our North Carolina biomanufacturing campus
We’re leading where medicine is going by investing more than $4 billion to build a new biotherapeutics manufacturing campus in Wilson, North Carolina. Across two facilities, we will be significantly increasing our U.S. supply chain presence and adding more than 1,000 jobs when fully operational. Even before the campus facilities are up and running, we’re actively hiring for many roles in North Carolina today.
The drug substance facility on the campus will produce active pharmaceutical ingredients used in several innovative medicines, and the drug product facility will fill and package the final products to be distributed to patients.
We will also have a presence at FUJIFILM’s new biopharmaceutical manufacturing site in Holly Springs, NC.
We need your skills to bring biomanufacturing to life at our new U.S. supply chain hub. Our expanded Wilson, NC campus will support the growth of our portfolio and allow us to deliver innovative therapies across oncology, immunology and neuroscience to the patients who need them most.
