Tergus Pharma, the leading topical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), officially opened its new, 100,000 sq. ft. headquarters and commercial manufacturing facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 13, 2021.
The event featured speeches by North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, NC Biotech Center President & CEO Doug Edgeton, and was attended by senior executives from Tergus Pharma, members of its board of directors, and other dignitaries.
The first speaker at the event was North Carolina Utilities Commissioner and former North Carolina Senator Floyd B. McKissick. “I can’t believe that literally in less than a decade you’ve gone from a four thousand square foot building and four employees to a hundred-thousand square foot, modern, state-of-the-art facility with offices that are truly impressive. That type of growth, that type of imagination, that type of vision—and to become a leader when it comes to topical pharmaceuticals in our entire country—is truly, truly impressive. It’s what the American dream really is all about,” he remarked.
In addition to corporate and administrative offices, the new Tergus facility houses five state-of-the-art research and development laboratories, in addition to six commercial GMP manufacturing suites, six filling and packaging suites, along with two dedicated High-Potent and Hormonal suites.
Tergus Pharma’s long-term vision in Research Triangle Park (Durham, NC) is to become the largest topical drug product contract development and manufacturing company in the United States. To realize this vision, Tergus is working closely with the state of North Carolina, the Durham Chamber of Commerce, and the NC Biotechnology Center. Tergus is currently hiring for several positions including process engineering, project management, research & development scientist, and several support functions
