Six years and near­ly $1B lat­er, Boehringer In­gel­heim's largest ever in­vest­ment is now op­er­a­tional

Six years ago, Boehringer In­gel­heim an­nounced that a new man­u­fac­tur­ing plant fo­cused on large-scale cell cul­ture tech­nol­o­gy would be erect­ed in Vi­en­na, mark­ing the largest in­vest­ment in the com­pa­ny’s his­to­ry. Last week, the site be­came op­er­a­tional.

The site will add an­oth­er 185,000 liters of pro­duc­tion ca­pac­i­ty and bring 500 new jobs to the area. Boehringer will pro­duce its own prod­uct port­fo­lio, as well as man­u­fac­ture for third-par­ty com­pa­nies. The added ca­pac­i­ty adds 30 per­cent to its mam­malian large scale ca­pac­i­ty and will al­low easy changeover from one prod­uct to an­oth­er.
