The site will be built near an existing Fujifilm manufacturing site, and production is expected to begin in the spring of 2025. Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies, a partnership between Fujifilm Corp. and Mitsubishi Corp., will operate the facility.
Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies, which has manufacturing facilities in Texas and North Carolina, has not yet disclosed in which state the new site will be built. At the time of publication, the company had not responded to Becker’s Hospital Review‘s request to determine which state will house the facility.
“We are leveraging our strengths in process development and manufacturing for a wide range of biopharmaceuticals such as antibodies, recombinant proteins, gene therapies and vaccines,” Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies President and CEO Martin Meeson said in a news release. “We are uniquely placed to support our customer supply chain needs providing end to end services from small to large scale bulk drug substance production, through to fill-finish and final packing.”
