FOR RELEASE: January 16, 2025

EMPOWER PHARMACY OPENING FACILITY ALONG PRINCETON HIGHTSTOWN ROAD IN EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP

Mayor Janice S. Mironov announced that Empower Pharmacy, a provider of tailored specialized medications for individual patients, will be occupying 170,000 square feet of the existing Aurobindo Pharma building at the intersection of Princeton Hightstown Road and Old Trenton Road. In April 2024, Empower Pharmacy acquired all site operations and assets including the existing workforce of Eugia US Manufacturing, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurobindo Pharma.

Empower Pharmacy, a privately held company, has the primary goal of providing high-quality, affordable medications, patient-specific based on the prescription and need. The East Windsor site will become Empower Pharmacy’s second FDA-registered manufacturing site, joining company facilities in Houston, Texas. The East Windsor facility currently is staffed by 90 employees across all divisions and functions with plans of expanding to 200 personnel in 2025.

Mayor Mironov stated, “The opening of Empower Pharmacy further strengthens East Windsor as a niche for pharmaceutical and high-tech businesses and expands our Route 571 Einstein Alley corridor. Empower Pharmacy, which is on an ambitious growth pathway, is making a significant investment in East Windsor and adding large numbers of high value jobs. The continued expansion of high-tech and pharmaceutical research and development companies is exciting for East Windsor Township.”

Empower Pharma is in the process of a significant capital investment of upwards of $100 million to retrofit their portion of the building into a sterile medication manufacturing facility incorporating state-of-the-art instruments and equipment. The retrofit will include the construction of separate manufacturing lines and clean rooms to promote high quality sterile processes and support testing services for clinical trials.
