THE WOODLANDS, Texas (PRWEB)
December 03, 2019
VGXI, a highly regarded CDMO supporting the gene therapy and DNA vaccine industries, announces it has chosen the integrated construction services company BE&K Building Group as Design-Build Partner for the initial phase of its new manufacturing site. The planned 240,000-square-foot facility will include expanded manufacturing capabilities and multiple flexible production suites to support both DNA and RNA-based biopharmaceuticals at all phases of development through commercial supply. Design of the first phase of the site is already underway, with projected completion of the initial facility within 2 to 3 years.
“The choice of BE&K is based on their strong reputation and extensive experience serving advanced manufacturing businesses, especially within the biotech industry,” stated VGXI CEO Young Park. “We look forward to a productive partnership as we move forward with the first phase of our company’s facility expansion.”
According to market reports, the gene therapy industry is rapidly gaining speed as recent approvals pave the way for a whole new class of medicines. A driving factor for both site selection and building design is available capacity to support VGXI’s continued, future expansions to meet growing industry demand. VGXI has identified and selected a suitable location for the construction project, with approval granted in November for a $1.2 million incentive during a special council meeting by the City of Conroe.
