Amgen, one of the world’s leading biotechnology companies, is investing $550 million to build a new multi-product drug substance bio manufacturing facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina, a bio manufacturing “hub” known for their life sciences industry. The new plant will combine two production formats, traditional stainless-steel fed-batch and single-use technology. This combination of capabilities is an approach that Amgen calls “FleX Batch” manufacturing, which makes the facility more dynamic and efficient, as well as requiring a smaller physical footprint than a traditional plant. Additionally, the plant will integrate innovations to advance digitalization and sustainability, aspiring to embed industry 4.0 capabilities and reduce energy consumption and waste generation to meet Amgen’s plan to be carbon neutral by 2027.

The investment will bring approximately 355 jobs comprised of highly skilled workers that will be built on a foundation that promotes diversity, inclusion and belonging. The site will include the manufacturing plant, warehouse, central utilities and office space. Amgen is targeting 2024 for site completion.
