 AUROBINDO BREAKS GROUND ON NEW 170,100 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING ON PRINCETON HIGHTSTOWN ROAD CAMPUS IN EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP

Mayor Janice S. Mironov and Council Members, along with Mercer County Executive Dan Benson, joined Aurobindo Chief Executive Officer Swami Iyer, Senior Vice President of Human Resources Theresa Perniciaro and other Aurobindo representatives, for a groundbreaking ceremony for the new 170,000 square foot building on the Aurobindo campus, a state-of-the art pharmaceutical manufacturing facility on Windsor Center Drive.

The new 170,000 square foot building will join the existing 606,620 square foot Aurobindo building constructed in 2016 and the previously acquired 43,000 square foot Patscenter building on the Company’s campus along Princeton Hightstown Road. In January 2017, Aurobindo transformed the East Windsor campus into the Company’s North American headquarters and moved its administrative offices to the adjoining existing Patscenter building. The Patscenter, characterized by its unique engineering, was designed by renowned British architect Sir Richard Rogers who is best known for the Pompidou Cultural Center in Paris. The new Aurobindo facility will expand the single-stream manufacturing process of generic pharmaceuticals from manufacturing, to packaging, to shipping while maintaining the integrity between products and processes. Additional walkways, a patio and seating areas are being constructed, plus enhanced landscaping and berming with deciduous, ornamental and evergreen trees, to integrate the new facility into the existing campus. .

Mayor Mironov stated, “This groundbreaking is an exciting day for Aurobindo and East Windsor with the continued expansion and success of this leading pharmaceutical company here in our community. Aurobindo, a globally prominent pharmaceutical corporation, uses cutting edge technology for research, development and manufacturing, leading to the Company’s growth and success. East Windsor looks forward to the continuing growth of Aurobindo within our Township’s high-tech, pharmaceutical research and development Einstein Alley Route 571 corridor, which also includes Empower Pharma, Shiseido America, Getinge, RK Pharma, ForDoz Pharma and QTS Data Centers.”

Aurobindo Pharma Limited, founded in 1988, is one of the world’s leading development and manufacturing pharmaceutical companies with 27 state-of-the art facilities and more than 24,000 employees worldwide with the facility in East Windsor serving as the North American headquarters. The company develops, manufactures and distributes a wide range of generic, branded and specialty pharmaceuticals in addition to active pharmaceutical ingredients.
