Lilly plans new manufacturing sites
INDIANAPOLIS — Eli Lilly and Company plans to invest $2.1 billion in two new Indiana manufacturing sites, a move that’s expected to create hundreds of new jobs in the Hoosier state, the company announced Wednesday.
The new facilities will expand the Indianapolis-based company’s manufacturing network for active ingredients and new therapeutic drugs, including those used to treat diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s and cancer, Lily officials said during a news conference at the governor’s residence.
“We’re fortunate to have had a very successful run lately in our laboratories in our pipeline… we have tremendous growth at Lilly, but we have even more promise ahead,” said David Ricks, Lilly’s chair and CEO.
The LEAP Lebanon Innovation and Research District in Boone County, located 30 miles northwest of Indianapolis, was selected for its “strategic proximity” to downtown Indianapolis, Purdue University in West Lafayette, and the I-65 corridor, Ricks continued.
