Injectable medicine manufacturing facility (Mounjaro / Zepbound autoinjector pens). Opened June 2024 with commercial production ramping through late 2024. Lilly announced a subsequent doubling of the site to about $2B in a later expansion — tracked separately when independently qualifying facility-specific figures for that expansion are disclosed; this record retains the original $1B / 600-job announcement.

Why it matters

The pharmaceuticals context.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers are committing billions to new U.S. production capacity for active ingredients, injectable medicines, biologics and other high-demand treatments. North Carolina and Indiana remain major centers of investment, while new facilities are being planned across the South. The current project pipeline includes both large greenfield campuses and major expansions of established production sites.
