The new 31,000-sq. ft building will bring additional commercial spray drying capacity for customers who favour US-based manufacturing
Spray drying and particle engineering specialist Hovione has announced it is expanding its facilities at its East Windsor, New Jersey site with the creation of a state-of-the-art Hovione Campus.
The new 31,000-sq. ft (2900m2) building will be next to the company's existing site in New Jersey, laying the foundations of a Hovione Campus, and will bring additional commercial spray drying capacity online by 2023.
It will also allow the company to respond to customers favouring US-based manufacturing, from development all the way to commercial.
