Called Project Eos, the expansion will support a high-speed syringe filling line and one low- to medium-speed vial filling line with lyophilization capacity. The syringe filling line will incorporate electron-beam sterilization and both lines will utilize isolators. Targeted to be on-line early next year, the facility is expected to add 200 new jobs.
