AbbVie has announced that it has invested $223m in an expansion to its Singapore manufacturing facility. This will create more than 100 new jobs and increase the company’s biologics manufacturing capacity.

The facility is located in Singapore’s Tuas Biomedical Park and is a state-of-the-art small-molecule and biologics manufacturing site. The investment is intended to add 24,000 liters of biologic drug-substance to the company’s global manufacturing network, and support current products alongside emerging immunology and oncology compounds in its pipeline.

With this new investment, the company has now invested more than $740m in acquiring, modernising and expanding the Singapore facility over the last decade.
