Its new facility will be responsible for the manufacturing of contrast media. The project will support at least 200 jobs which could create a potential annual payroll impact of more than $20.6 million for the region and is expected to be fully staffed by 2031.

Sanford and Lee County competed for this project with multiple locations, domestically and internationally.
