Becton Dickinson & Co. on Tuesday said it plans to invest
$200 million in a new manufacturing plan in Spain to support the
continued growth of its prefilled drug-delivery business.
The Franklin Lakes, N.J., medical-technology company said the
new plant, which would produce drug-delivery devices, would employ
150 people in 2024 and up to 600 when full operations start in
2030.
Becton Dickinson said it plans to begin construction of the new
plant, located in the city of Zaragoza in the Aragon region of
Spain, in late 2021.
The plant, which would be the company's fourth manufacturing
facility in Spain, would initially encompass about 86,000 square
feet but would grow to roughly 323,000 square feet by 2020, the
company said.
Becton Dickinson said the new plant would be a fully digital
site and would meet high sustainability and eco-efficiency
standards.
