CDMO Kindeva Drug Delivery announced that it has broken ground on a new 137,500 sq ft headquarters building in Woodbury, MN, USA; the company anticipates that the building will be opened in the latter half of 2021. Kindeva, formerly 3M Drug Delivery Systems, offers a wide range of services to support OINDP development and manufacturing, ranging from formulation to device development to cGMP filling and packaging.
According to Kindeva, it has been hiring additional personnel “both to support its long-term growth trajectory and to facilitate its separation from 3M in May 2020,” and further job growth is expected. The company said that it expects more than 250 personnel to move to the new facility, which will include space for R&D and support functions as well as corporate offices.
Kindeva Drug Delivery CEO Aaron Mann commented, “I am excited to call Woodbury the permanent home of our corporate headquarters. I believe that both the location and the modern, functional design of the facility will help us attract new talent. . . . This is a great addition for Kindeva’s R&D team. The new lab will support ongoing customer projects, reinforce our strength in the development of novel and complex drug delivery solutions, and help us attract top recruits with STEM, pharma, and life sciences backgrounds.”
