India-Based Granules Consumer Health Expands Prince William County, Virginia, Operations

11/08/2024
Granules Consumer Health, a subsidiary of Granules India and a manufacturer of over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceuticals, plans to expand its operations in Prince William County, Virginia. The $1.5 million project is expected to create 99 jobs.

The investment will include the installation of new manufacturing lines which will increase the company’s production capabilities for over-the-counter drugs.

“We are excited to partner with Prince William County and to have chosen Manassas as home for our new packaging facility,” said Chairman & Managing Director of Granules India Limited Dr. Krishna Prasad Chigurupati. “Since its opening in early 2023, we have nearly doubled our workforce by hiring local talent. This is a big step forward for us, and we are glad to be growing alongside the community.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with Prince William County to secure the project and will support Granules Consumer Health’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, which provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs in order to support employee recruitment and training activities.

As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies. VJIP is state-funded, demonstrating Virginia’s commitment to enhancing job opportunities for citizens.

“Virginia's pharmaceutical industry is thriving, and today's growth announcement from?Granules?Consumer Health exemplifies that fact,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. “This facility will add more complex manufacturing capabilities for generic drugs, which will ultimately produce safe, cost-effective alternatives to brand-name medications. We are proud that they have chosen to expand this vitally important work right here in Prince William County.”
