Heritage Pharmaceuticals opens new production facility in New Jersey

Heritage Pharmaceuticals, based in East Brunswick, New Jersey, opened a new manufacturing facility that was built using modular cleanroom walls.

The 38,000-square-foot facility brings the total manufacturing area for Heritage to 125,000 square feet. The company expects to increase its total employee count at the site to 225 by early next year.

“We are very excited about this move, as it will enable us to consolidate three geographically separated offices into one ‘campus’ in East Brunswick, facilitating more efficient internal communication,” Scott Delaney, Heritage’s president, said in a statement.

Heritage produces 28 products, including tablets, capsules, soft gels and powders for suspension, with an annualized volume of 2 billion units and packaging of 1.5 million serialized units. 

The new addition has already been approved by Health Canada, European Medicines agency and TGA Australia, the company said.
