Biopharmaceutical company GSK plans to invest roughly $800 million to expand its operations in Pennsylvania, according to reports from Manufacturing Dive and BioSpace. Both publications reported that the project will establish a manufacturing hub featuring a quality control laboratory and is projected to create at least 300 jobs.
The expansion is slated for GSK's Upper Merion Township location near Philadelphia, where the company will tear down older structures starting next year to build new facilities, according to reporting by BioSpace citing Pennsylvania state officials. The development will feature a biologics production center for commercial and clinical supplies, a research and development pilot plant, and a manufacturing science and technology center. Officials indicated the 300 new positions are expected to be added over five years, alongside the retention of roughly 4,500 existing full-time positions across the state.
BioSpace further reported that the development is eligible for state manufacturing tax credit and reinvestment deduction programs. The project follows an earlier $800 million investment GSK made two years ago at its Marietta, Pennsylvania, campus for vaccine substance manufacturing and pilot research, even as the London-headquartered drugmaker has recently shifted away from manufacturing sites in Maryland, Massachusetts, the United Kingdom, China, and Singapore.
