Amgen Announces $650 Mn Expansion of U.S. Manufacturing Network

The investment will primarily support increased drug production at the company’s biologics manufacturing facility in Juncos, Puerto Rico, while also integrating advanced technologies across its operations.

Amgen has announced a $650 million expansion of its U.S. manufacturing network, a move that is set to create nearly 750 jobs across construction and highly skilled manufacturing roles.

The investment will primarily support increased drug production at the company’s biologics manufacturing facility in Juncos, Puerto Rico, while also integrating advanced technologies across its operations.

“This expansion underscores Amgen's commitment to U.S. biomanufacturing and to strengthening the resilience of our global supply chain. By growing our capacity to deliver innovative medicines with cutting-edge technology in our manufacturing plants, we will not only better serve patients but also create high-quality jobs that reinforce America's leadership in biotechnology,” said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer at Amgen.

Amgen noted that it has invested more than $40 billion in manufacturing and research and development since the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017. The company cited that policies extended under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 have further supported its domestic investments.

Puerto Rico’s Secretary of the Department of Economic Development and Commerce, Sebastián Negrón Reichard, added, “Puerto Rico boasts more than 60 years of expertise and excellence in the biopharmaceutical sector, supported by highly skilled talent and world-class infrastructure. This investment by Amgen is a testament to how committed we are to advancing a competitive and innovative ecosystem that allows global companies to grow and prosper in Puerto Rico.”

This announcement follows Amgen’s recent commitments, including a $600 million science and innovation center in California, along with manufacturing expansions of $900 million in Ohio and $1 billion in North Carolina.
