Governor Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger cut the ribbon on SCHOTT Pharma USA's newly improved and expanded manufacturing facility in Lebanon County. This expansion project helps retain more than 200 jobs, triples SCHOTT's manufacturing capacity in the United States, and continues growing Pennsylvania's robust life sciences industry.Since 2003, SCHOTT's Lebanon facility has specialized in drug containment solutions and delivery systems for injectable drugs, producing high quality core and specialty vials made from FIOLAX borosilicate glass, built to carry and protect life-saving cancer treatments while in transit. "From day one, I've worked to grow Pennsylvania's economy and make our Commonwealth the best place to create new jobs and real opportunity," said Governor Shapiro. "Nearly two months ago, I sat down with the President of SCHOTT North America at the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh to talk about why Pennsylvania is the best state in the nation for economic development - and today we are celebrating a significant investment in our Commonwealth. Pennsylvania is on the rise and thanks to this new, expanded manufacturing facility, our $50 billion life sciences industry is poised for even more growth." Valued at nearly $50 billion, Pennsylvania's life sciences sector is a national powerhouse, employing more than 100,000 people across nearly 3,100 companies and world-renowned research institutions throughout the Commonwealth. Over the past five years, Pennsylvania researchers and companies have secured over 10,700 new life sciences patents - the fourth-highest total in the country. List of Speakers:Governor Josh Shapiro
