INTEGRA Biosciences celebrated the expansion of its state-of-the-art facility in Hudson, NH, with a community ribbon cutting ceremony. The newly extended facilities will expand the company’s US presence to meet the growing demand for its laboratory liquid handling products, which have proved vital to labs around the world battling the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company’s production center on Wentworth Drive in Hudson has gained an additional 16,000 square feet, increasing both manufacturing and storage capacities. With this development, INTEGRA is set to triple its production each year. The company, which has been in Hudson for over 10 years will be recruiting 100 new employees which quadruples its workforce in the area in 18 months. Each facility will also meet 50 % of its energy demands with the installation of solar panels, designed to provide enough electricity to power 90 houses, as part of the company’s global sustainability efforts.
