Expansion coincides with launch of cleanroom solution portfolio in North America and reaffirms company’s commitment to growing in Greensboro
Ecolab Inc., the global leader in water, hygiene and energy technologies
and services, continues to expand its Greensboro campus with
construction of a cleanroom manufacturing facility to support the launch
of the company’s Life Sciences solution portfolio in North America.
“This new, state-of-the-art production facility reinforces our
commitment to meeting the needs of pharmaceutical and personal care
manufacturers,” said Beth Simermeyer, Ecolab executive vice president
for Life Sciences. “It also reinforces our commitment to the greater
Greensboro area, where we’ve significantly expanded to meet the needs of
our growing business.”
Ecolab’s Life Sciences division provides comprehensive cleaning and
disinfection solutions for pharmaceutical and personal care product
manufacturers. The 3,000-square-foot ISO 5- and ISO 7-certified
cleanroom production area for the division’s cleaners, detergents and
sanitizers will be housed within a new 12,000-square-foot facility.
Cleanroom production is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2019.
Ecolab currently employs approximately 450 associates at its Greensboro
campus, which produces cleaning and sanitizing products for food retail
locations and quick-serve restaurants, and expects to add additional
positions to support the new Life Sciences cleanroom manufacturing
facility.
Earlier this year, Ecolab purchased the former Coca-Cola facility
adjacent to its campus for additional storage space. The company also is
in the process of commissioning its $27 million manufacturing facility
expansion and nearing completion of a remodel of its research and
development facility and technical labs. In 2017, Ecolab opened a
36,000-square-foot office building on the Greensboro campus for
marketing, finance and other support positions.
