UCB Picks Georgia site for planned US manufacturing facility

Yesterday after market close, UCB announced that it has selected Gwinnett County, Georgia as the location for its new US biologics manufacturing facility. Once operational, the facility is expected to produce recently approved and future pipeline complex biologics 24/7 primarily for the US market. This project is expected to generate approx. $5bn in total economic impact, creating around 330 permanent highly skilled jobs, and more than 1000 construction jobs. Approx. 62% of the company's FY25 net sales were derived from the US (vs. 54% in FY24), and we believe that number could likely go up further in the coming years, fuelled by the ongoing Bimzelx launch. As such, this investment is a natural step to bring manufacturing closer to the company's largest market. € 284 TP and Buy maintained.
