The Rochester facility has been in operation since 1908 and has the distinction of being the first biological license holder for vaccines and other biological products manufactured in the USA. Vaccines are no longer manufactured at the site, and the previous owners being Parke-Davis, Warner Lambert, and recently King Pharmaceuticals, extensively extended and remodeled the facility. The facility currently produces a range of products in the ophthalmic, pain, endocrine, otic and women’s health markets. The facility also produces the leading diagnostic for tuberculosis testing and a range of biopharmaceuticals for leading innovative domestic and global companies.
