Emergent BioSolutions Expands Its Gaithersburg, Maryland, Facility And Headquarters
10/03/2013
“Emergent BioSolutions’ continued investment in Maryland helps solidify our position as a life sciences powerhouse,” said Gov. Martin O’Malley. “I am proud that Emergent BioSolutions is growing in Maryland, continuing to create jobs and working to develop life-saving vaccines that will give hope to millions of people around the world.”
“Montgomery County was thrilled to partner with the State of Maryland and the City of Gaithersburg to provide Emergent Biosolutions with strategic funding to assist with their significant headquarters expansion in the County,” said Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett. “Emergent has the only FDA-licensed anthrax vaccine on the market…”
“Over the last 10 years, Emergent BioSolutions has invested and grown its presence in Maryland — from 30 to 300 employees, from a single site to three locations, including capital investment of over $115 million. We continue to expand, thanks to the support of the City, County, and State,” said Robert G. Kramer, Emergent’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Emergent is pleased to be part of Maryland’s, Montgomery County’s and the City of Gaithersburg’s vibrant life sciences community and looks forward to contributing further to its success.”
To assist with project costs, the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development approved a $2 million loan, which is based on job retention and creation and capital investment. In addition, Montgomery County has approved a $750,000 grant convertible to a loan under the same terms. The City of Gaithersburg is providing a $250,000 grant convertible to a loan. The company is also eligible for a number of State and local tax credits and training programs.
