09/26/2025
B. Braun, a company specializing in infusion therapy and pain management, plans to expand its operations in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. The $20 million project is expected to create at least 200 jobs.

The investment will include the expansion and modernization of production equipment at the company’s existing 710,000-square-foot medical device manufacturing facility in Hanover Township.

“We are proud to continue growing our manufacturing operations in the Lehigh Valley,” said Rob Albert, CEO, B. Braun of America. “Here in Pennsylvania, we have the skilled workforce, high quality suppliers, and business environment that enable us to manufacture medical devices used by healthcare providers across the United States. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with the Shapiro Administration to make our future even stronger.”

To support the project, B. Braun received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) that includes a $1 million Pennsylvania First grant and a $500,000 WEDnetPA grant to train its workers.

“The Shapiro Administration is proud to support B. Braun’s continued growth and success here in Pennsylvania,” noted DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “This project further strengthens our already robust life sciences ecosystem and manufacturing industry ? two of the important sectors we’re focusing on in our 10-year Economic Development Strategy to help boost the Commonwealth’s competitiveness.”

B. Braun is a medical and pharmaceutical device company that develops integrated solutions for healthcare professionals. The company is organized into divisions like Hospital Care, Aesculap, and Avitum, offering products and services in areas such as infusion therapy, surgical technologies, infection prevention, and extracorporeal blood treatment.

“B. Braun is one of the foundations of the Lehigh Valley’s manufacturing and life sciences economy, helping to lead the way in the region’s renaissance,” added Don Cunningham, President & CEO of Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation. “We are grateful to Governor Shapiro and the Commonwealth for their tremendous partnership and helping to support B. Braun’s innovation and growth here in Pennsylvania.”
