KriGen Pharmaceuticals, LLC., an India-based injectables maker, is building a $7 million facility in Harnett County. This will be the company's first U.S. manufacturing facility that will house a wide range of injectables using aseptic filling/terminal sterilization machines. 

The new flagship facility will be located at 800 Edwards Drive in Lillington. 

KriGen works together with its partners and suppliers to provide innovative life-saving and sustainable products and therapies to patients and healthcare providers. 

With its 55,000 square foot facility, KriGen will be a world-class structure that contributes to producing a wide variety of liquid injectables, making KriGen the largest injectable plant.

This new addition to Harnett County will create 117 job opportunities when the facility is complete and functioning by mid-2023. 

"Our business will bring an abundance of change to Lillington and Harnett County with these jobs," said KriGen Pharmaceuticals, LLC. CEO, Dhruvkumar Patel. "We want to help recover the damage from lost jobs and help bring change to the economics surrounding the area." 

The company chose Harnett County due to the growing development of the county and its abundance of water in the area. One of KriGen's biggest products is saline/IV bags, which require plenty of water. 

"The vision of KriGen Pharmaceuticals is to improve the quality of human lives by providing affordable pharmaceutical formulations based on innovation and technology," Patel explained.
