Vetter, a Ravensburg, Germany-headquartered CDMO of aseptic filling and packaging, has broken ground on a new $285-million clinical manufacturing site in Des Plaines, Illinois.  

The facility is expected to be ready for media fill by the end of 2029. The $285-million investment provides additional capacity for small-batch production and includes space for warehouses, laboratories, and administrative offices. The 860,000-square-foot site has the capacity to accommodate future expansion, contingent on global demand and additional strategic investments. 

With its new location, Vetter is strengthening its presence in the North American market and supplementing its existing clinical network in Skokie, Illinois, and Rankweil, Austria.
