🚨 Red Bull is breaking ground (again) in Concord, NC — kicking off construction on its $1.7B, 2.3M sq-ft manufacturing and distribution hub. While life sciences continue to draw headlines in NC, this signals major momentum for FMCG as well. The facility will eventually produce 3 billion cans annually and create ~700 jobs. A strong move toward U.S. supply chain localization — and a reminder that large-scale investment in consumer goods is alive and well. 📍 One to watch in the Southeast. Curious to hear from others: Are we seeing the start of a broader FMCG manufacturing resurgence in the US? Drop your thoughts below.👇 #Manufacturing #FMCG #SupplyChain #EconomicDevelopment #NorthCarolina #USManufacturing #SiteSelection #RedBull #Infrastructure #Logistics #IndustryTrends

Here's a great article about #LifeSciences advancements in North Carolina, looking back over advancement from the past 40 years. We love seeing the insights from North Carolina Biotechnology Center (NCBiotech) President and CEO, Doug Edgeton.

On April 16, we’re opening our new GMP resin manufacturing facility in Raleigh, NC. 📍 As advanced therapy programs move into larger indications and later-stage development, the pressure on downstream purification has shifted. Recovery, consistency, scalability, and cost are no longer just development-stage considerations. They directly influence commercial feasibility and long-term supply. Whether working with viral vectors, mRNA platforms, or complex biologics, downstream performance increasingly determines how much upstream value is ultimately retained. Small differences in capture, polishing, and elution conditions can have measurable impact on yield, product quality, and functional performance. Our new facility is designed to support purification technologies built around those realities to enable higher recovery, stronger platform consistency, and more predictable scale-up across emerging modalities. To mark the opening, we’re hosting a facility tour and an industry roundtable chaired by Professor Stefano Menegatti, focused on current challenges in advanced modality biomanufacturing, including purification performance, process simplification, and scalable platform strategies. If you’re working in downstream development, process science, or CMC strategy, and are interested in attending, complete the form here: https://lnkd.in/dB6TPvbf
