Gene&Cell Therapy >> Resilience plans to expand Ohio facility with 440 new jobs
over three years: National Resilience is expanding its operations in West Chester, OH, to “nearly double” its capacity.
The company is adding 440 new jobs across its manufacturing engineering, quality control, internet technology and management divisions. According to a Monday press release, the new hires will take place over the next three years; 274 will be direct employees, and 166 will be contractors. In a release in January, the company noted the site has around 500 workers.
Earlier this year, Resilience laid off employees at a manufacturing site in Massachusetts. Endpoints News enquired if the company has laid off employees at any of its sites in the past three months. While the company declined to provide details, CEO Rahul Singhvi replied in an email:
At Resilience, we continuously assess our operations to align with market realities and our customers’ needs. This includes balancing our resources across our network by reducing roles in some areas while adding positions in others, based on demand. While this is a difficult decision, it is a necessary step for the company to serve customer’s and patient’s needs more effectively.
Resilience purchased the West Chester site from AstraZeneca in January. The companies entered a multi-year deal where Resilience took over manufacturing AstraZeneca’s products at this same site. The 580,000-square-foot facility is equipped for aseptic filling, packaging, labeling and cold-chain operations for vials, cartridges, pre-filled syringes and autoinjectors.
Since its launch in 2020, Resilience has set up operations at 11 locations in North America, including its headquarters in San Diego, and has manufacturing capabilities across cell and gene therapy, biologics, nucleic acids and vaccines. #lucidquest #genetherapy #celltherapy
