Sartorius to add flagship site in North America

The company plans to open a new 130,000-sq. ft plant in Ann Arbor in late 2023

The moves comes as demand for innovative technologies used in developing and producing biopharmaceuticals continues to grow rapidly.

The new plant will focus on providing innovative solutions to help customers develop drugs that cure, prevent, and halt the progression of diseases.

The 15 acres of land the company has already purchased for its new flagship site will provide sufficient space for further expansion. By 2025, Sartorius anticipates it will more than double capacities for its key product groups.

Sartorius, which has 22 production sites worldwide, has said the new site is an integral part of its ongoing worldwide expansion, which will enable it to scale up its operations and capabilities in the Ann Arbor biotech hub. By 2025, Sartorius will more than double capacities for its key product groups.

The project is expected to create 160 jobs, including product development, operations, and other support functions, over 3 years.
