Pharmaceutical Ingredients Manufacturer Nu-Tek BioSciences Announces Plans To Build New Facility In Minnesota
Nu-Tek BioSciences, an innovative manufacturer of industrial ingredients used in the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, will build a new manufacturing facility in Austin, Minnesota.
The project will be the first dedicated, animal-free peptone, and protein hydrolysate manufacturing facility in the U.S. This U.S. owned peptone manufacturing plant will help meet the rapidly growing demand for materials used to manufacture biologics.
Nu-Tek is currently supplying a critical component used in the manufacture of a COVID-19 vaccine. According to company officials, this investment into manufacturing comes at a time when pharmaceutical companies are seeking solutions to mitigate supply chain risk. With the current pressures of COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing, this capacity will solidify the Company’s commitment to building businesses and assets with long-term sustainability.
