BioTouch Expands Columbus, Georgia, Operations

12/11/2025
Healthcare logistics company BioTouch plans to expand its operations in Columbus, Georgia. The $12.5 million project is expected to create 480 jobs over the next four years in Muscogee County.

The investment will include the expansion of the company’s two existing facilities, located at Corporate Ridge Business Park and Columbus East Industrial Park, which specialize in manufacturing kits for medical testing and sample collection.

“BioTouch has been proud to call Columbus home since 2005, and our commitment to this community remains strong. Expanding in Columbus has been a pivotal chapter in our growth story,” said Rob Coyle, CEO of BioTouch. “The city’s skilled workforce, business-friendly environment, and strategic logistics network have enabled us to scale faster and serve our customers more efficiently. Columbus isn’t just where we operate – it’s where we fulfill our purpose: To touch lives and improve outcomes.”

Senior Regional Project Manager Christy Bozeman represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s (GDEcD) Global Commerce team on this competitive project, in partnership with the Development Authority of Columbus, Georgia Power, and Georgia Quick Start.

“BioTouch demonstrates the diversity of Georgia’s life sciences ecosystem and the strength of our healthcare and manufacturing industries,” noted GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “Companies such as BioTouch are able to leverage state services, industry partnerships, and Georgia’s collaborative environment to grow. We look forward to working with BioTouch, Columbus, and partners in workforce development to support more opportunities for good jobs in west Georgia.”

BioTouch focuses on Healthcare End-to-End Kitting and Specialty Logistics, delivering single-source solutions to healthcare organizations, laboratories, and life sciences companies.

“BioTouch’s expansion is a powerful vote of confidence in Columbus and our people,” added Chairman Selvin Hollingsworth, Development Authority of Columbus. “This investment and job creation show that Columbus continues to be a place where companies can grow, thrive, and find the workforce they need. We are proud to support BioTouch as they deepen their roots here and strengthen our community’s role in the global healthcare supply chain.”
