Amgen invests $900M to expand biologic medicines manufacturing facility in Ohio
Amgen has announced plans to expand its biologic medicines manufacturing facility in Central Ohio. The company, which manufactures biologic medicines, will invest $900 million into the project, creating a total of 750 jobs.
The facility expansion builds on Amgen’s initial investment in the Columbus Region, where the company established a biomanufacturing site that created 400 jobs upon opening. The facility will enhance Amgen’s U.S.-based manufacturing capabilities, allowing it to better meet global demand for its biologic therapies. Ohio's skilled workforce and strategic location contributed to Amgen’s decision to further invest in the region.

Ohio offers a supportive business climate, skilled workforce, and strategic location, making it an ideal choice for this next phase of our investment."
