Ritedose Corporation, a pharmaceutical products manufacturer, will invest $10 million to construct a new 140,000-square-foot facility at Midlands Technical College’s Enterprise Industrial Campus off Powell Road in Columbia, South Carolina.

The company, which specializes in the production of inhalation products, eye drops, ear drops and oral liquids, has operated at Carolina Research Park for more than 20 years.

In 2014, it expanded its operations and now plans to do so again with a new 140,000-square-foot facility at the Enterprise Industrial Campus of Midlands Technical College in Richland County. Owned by the college, the business park is a 150-acre property off Powell Road in northeast Columbia.

“This new facility represents the Ritedose Corporation’s continued commitment to Richland County, and is indicative of the company’s mission of maintaining our position as a global market leader,” said Ritedose President & CEO Umesh Dalvi.

“To see a company like Ritedose choose to continue investing in our state is an important sign to the business community around the world that South Carolina is the place to be. We look forward to seeing the new heights the relationship between our state and this company will reach in the years to come,” said Governor Henry McMaster.

“Economic development and workforce development are the cornerstone of our mission at Midlands Technical College, and we are happy to partner with The Ritedose Corporation as they expand on our Enterprise Campus,” Midlands Technical College President Dr. Ron Rhames noted.
