The Hovione New Jersey site commenced operations in 2002 providing process development and small volume API manufacturing. Since then its technologies portfolio has greatly expanded with additional offerings in highly potent compounds, a variety of particle engineering capabilities and drug product continuous tableting services. The site was first inspected by the FDA in 2007 and hence has had an excellent track record with multiple regulatory authorities around the globe.

The Hovione New Jersey site is again expanding its capacity in the U.S. with the addition of a size 2 spray dryer at our existing facility at 40 Lake Drive, ready for commercial launch in late 2024. 

The New Jersey campus has welcomed a new facility located at 89 Twin Rivers Drive. This is an adjacent building which will carry the same FDA registration number and contain two state of the art size 3 pharmaceutical spray dryers. Commercial operation of these new spray dryers is planned for late 2025 and mid 2026 respectively.
