The facilities will be built in West Columbia’s Saxe-Gotha Industrial Park, according to a July 9 news release from the drugmaker. Its construction of a large-scale vaccination manufacturing facility suggests it could soon partner with other pharma companies developing COVID-19 vaccine candidates.

Nephron, one of the country’s fastest-growing drugmakers, manufactures generic drugs, many of which treat respiratory problems that can arise from COVID-19.
