AmbioPharm, Inc. (API), a full-service peptide and biopharmaceutical manufacturing company, is expanding its existing Aiken County operations. The expansion is projected to bring $18 million of new capital investment and lead to the creation of 100 jobs over the next five years.
AmbioPharm started its business in South Carolina in 2007 by establishing its company headquarters and downstream manufacturing operations in a 10,000-square-foot facility in the North Augusta Industrial Park. That same year, API also opened its Shanghai, China operations, which focuses on the synthesis, as well as the research and development, of pharmaceutical products. In 2014 and 2015, the company made major facility expansions to its Aiken County operations.
Located at 1024 Dittman Court in North Augusta, S.C., AmbioPharm will be constructing two additional freestanding buildings, totaling 50,000 square feet, and purchasing additional equipment. Hiring for the new positions is projected to begin in the second quarter of 2018, and interested applicants should visit www.ambiopharm.com for more information.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to this project.
