Peptide manufacturer AmbioPharm plans to expand its operations in North Augusta, South Carolina. The $118.96 million project is expected to create 202 jobs in Aiken County.

The investment will include construction of a new modular manufacturing facility at the company’s existing campus that will increase commercial-scale peptide production capacity and support growing demand for peptide-based pharmaceutical ingredients. Operations are scheduled to begin by the end of 2027.

Lightsey III. “We are excited to witness the life sciences company’s continuing growth and development in South Carolina.”
