AbbVie broke ground on a new US$223 million expansion of its Singapore manufacturing facility. This new investment will add more than 100 jobs and new biologics manufacturing capacity to AbbVie's global network.
Located in Singapore's Tuas Biomedical Park, AbbVie's Singapore plant is a state-of-the-art small-molecule and biologics manufacturing facility serving markets worldwide. This new investment will add 24,000 liters of biologics drug-substance capacity to AbbVie's global manufacturing network and support current products as well as emerging immunology and oncology compounds within AbbVie's pipeline.
With today's announcement, AbbVie has invested more than US$740 million (S$1 billion) in acquiring, modernizing and expanding its Singapore facility over the past 10 years. When fully operational, the expanded Singapore manufacturing facility – AbbVie's only manufacturing site in Asia – will employ more than 500 people in manufacturing, quality assurance, supply chain, engineering and administration roles.
Construction on the expansion will begin later this year, with operations expected to commence in 2026. AbbVie's Singapore manufacturing plant is a part of AbbVie's Operations team, which consists of 14,000 employees working at more than 30 manufacturing, operations and logistics sites across the United States, Asia, Europe, Puerto Rico and South America.
