Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, has announced plans to invest approximately $750 million in a new device fill-finish manufacturing facility at its 75-acre campus in Hillsboro, Oregon in the US.
The investment will bring new end-to-end device filling capabilities to the site and expand Genentech’s capacity to support its future pipeline of innovative medicines. The investment is expected to create 250 high-wage manufacturing jobs and approximately 200 construction jobs in Oregon during site development, with commercial operations expected to begin in 2031.
The new facility will support the manufacturing of advanced drug delivery devices, such as pre-filled syringes and autoinjectors. These devices play an increasingly important role in how medicines are delivered and can provide patients with more convenient ways to receive treatment outside of a hospital setting.
Designed for flexibility, the facility will be capable of both high- and low-volume device filling across a broad range of Genentech’s portfolio, enabling the site to respond to changing manufacturing needs as the company’s portfolio evolves.
