Novartis Breaks Ground on 700,000 Sq Ft Flagship Hub in North Carolina

Novartis has officially broken ground on a 700,000 square foot manufacturing hub in Durham and Morrisville, North Carolina. This project is part of the company’s broader multibillion-dollar plan to localize production of radioligand therapies, an innovative treatment for cancer. The new hub is expected to create around 700 jobs.

CEO Vas Narasimhan celebrated the start of construction, saying, “This announcement is a commitment to American innovation and to the patients we serve. By building a full, end-to-end manufacturing presence in North Carolina, we are expanding our capacity to deliver medical breakthroughs.” The facility will play a critical role in advancing Novartis’s global therapeutic capabilities, particularly in oncology.
