AmbioPharm, Inc. expanding Aiken County operations

AmbioPharm, Inc. (APi), a company that specializes in the manufacturing of peptides and the development of generic drugs, is expanding its existing Aiken County operations. The company is investing $18.8 million in the expansion and will create 100 new jobs over the next five years.
APi started their business in South Carolina in 2007, by establishing its company headquarters and downstream manufacturing operations in a 10,000-square-foot facility in the North Augusta Industrial Park. That same year, APi also opened its Shanghai, China operations, which focuses on synthesis, as well as the research and development of pharmaceutical products. In 2014, the company made major facility expansions by adding 10,000 square feet in North Augusta and 18,000 square feet in Shanghai. Between the two facilities, the company now employs more than 200 workers.

“Our expansion is the product of our hard-working, talented team of employees, the trust of our customers in the quality of our product and delivery system and the support we have received from the City of North Augusta, Aiken County and the State of South Carolina,”  Dr. Chris Bai, AmbioPharm, Inc. Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “The State truly knows how to work with rapidly growing enterprises.”
To expand its Aiken County operations, APi is planning to construct additional manufacturing suites and a new world headquarters building on the existing 32 acres that APi owns. In total, the new additions will add approximately 40,000 square feet to the company’s existing facility at 1024 Dittman Court, North Augusta, South Carolina.
The expansion in North Augusta is anticipated to be completed by the third quarter of 2018. APi currently has numerous openings and hiring for the new positions is expected to begin immediately. Those interested in joining the APi team should contact the company via the email address: HR@ambiopharm.com. For more information on the company, visit www.ambiopharm.com.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to the project.
