The expansion is expected to generate 13,000 new jobs, including 3,000 permanent positions in engineering, science, and operations, alongside 10,000 construction roles to build the new facilities, according to MarketWatch.
Lilly’s Chief Executive, David A. Ricks, described the move as a bold step to meet the growing demand for safe, high-quality medicines approved by the FDA.
Three of the four new sites will focus on active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production, reshoring small-molecule chemical synthesis, and enhancing Lilly’s supply chain. The fourth facility will specialise in developing future injectable therapies, including Mounjaro (for Type 2 diabetes) and Zepbound (for weight loss).
Lilly is in discussions with several US states to finalise plant locations, with a proposal deadline set for March 12.
