As part of Thermo Fisher’s U.S. manufacturing network, the Florence site plays a vital role in strengthening domestic supply of essential medicines. Here on U.S. soil, science and precision meet scale. Our team produces the active pharmaceutical ingredients behind essential medicines—like antivirals and antibiotics—that help treat widespread infectious diseases and protect public health.
Inside the facility, specialized production suites support high-volume, high-potency manufacturing. Designed for flexibility and scale, these areas are equipped to handle complex chemistries with precision—while maintaining the highest levels of cleanliness, containment, and control. From early development through commercial supply, our teams work with discipline and care to help bring essential medicines to life—whether it’s producing a few grams or scaling to full commercial volumes.
But what sets Florence apart isn’t just what we’ve built—it’s what we’re ready to build next. Behind the current facility lies more than 300 acres of undeveloped land—prime space for building out the next generation of U.S.-based pharmaceutical manufacturing. Three additional parcels totaling 200 acres sit ready for immediate development to support future capacity and innovation. With access to major rail lines, roads, and water resources, Florence is ideally positioned to strengthen secure, domestic supply chains. Nearby, our Florence West facility expands this vision—adding further capacity for manufacturing, process development, and innovation, right here in the U.S.
Our quality systems, global regulatory expertise, and dedicated teams ensure that everything produced here meets the highest industry standards.
