Biopharma Manufacturer HPNE Continues Expansion

High Purity New England (HPNE), a biopharma solutions manufacturer and distributor, has acquired their third facility, expanding their total footprint to include more than 100,000 square feet under roof. The new building, which is located on the same street as their two current facilities, will be used to create their sixth state-of-the-art clean room environment for manufacturing, a new distribution center and a new lab, as well as additional office space.

The latest infrastructure investment comes exactly two years after their expansion into their second facility, a former Alexion office building, creating a small corporate campus along Thurber Boulevard in Smithfield, Rhode Island—roughly 50 minutes south of Boston.

For the last 6 consecutive years, HPNE says its high growth trajectory has enabled it to at a minimum double year-over-year. This year, the company is forecasting quadruple sales growth.

In addition, HPNE underwent a major hiring push in November of 2020. It set a goal of hiring 100 new employees by January of 2021, which it has already met and surpassed.

As the industry needs grow, HPNE continues to supply the biopharma and biotech industries with a range of innovative products, from drug discovery and development to fill-finish, including their flagship product, custom single-use assemblies, as well as pumps, mixers, and other single-use solutions. Along with their own manufactured products for the global market, they are also a distributor for 18 brands in North America. HPNE is also currently supporting numerous companies working on vaccines and therapeutics in the fight against COVID-19.
