Two young pharmaceutical companies are teaming up to bring a sizable new facility and nearly 200 new jobs to Petersburg.

The future facility will total 120,000 square feet and rise next to the AMPAC Fine Chemicals facility. AMPAC’s plant was previously run by German firm Boehringer Ingelheim until it shut it down in 2014, only for AMPAC to restart it in 2019.
