Mike DeWine, Governor of Ohio, said that Amgen's $900 million investment highlights the state's increasing attractiveness as a center for innovation and job creation.
"Ohio has built a strong foundation for economic development, which has led companies like Amgen to see Ohio as a premier destination for growth," said DeWine. "We are happy that Amgen is deepening its commitment to our state and look forward to the innovation and economic impact it will drive."
In April 2025, Amgen announced a significant expansion of its biomanufacturing facility in New Albany, Ohio. This $900 million project is expected to create 350 new jobs, bringing the company's total workforce in the state to 750. According to a company press release, this initiative raises Amgen’s cumulative investment in Ohio to over $1.4 billion. It is part of a broader collaboration with state and local economic development agencies aimed at enhancing domestic pharmaceutical production. The expansion seeks to boost capacity to meet the rising demand for Amgen’s therapies while contributing to regional economic growth.
Ohio's manufacturing sector experienced notable growth in early 2025, with ten newly approved projects anticipated to create 1,063 jobs and attract over $1 billion in capital investment. According to the Office of Governor Mike DeWine, these initiatives are expected to generate more than $74 million in new payroll and reflect the success of Ohio’s economic development strategies. State incentives and partnerships continue to draw large-scale investments across various industries, including advanced manufacturing.
DeWine has served as Ohio's governor since 2019 and has prioritized economic development through workforce training and public-private partnerships. According to the official governor’s website, his administration launched programs such as the Industry Sector Partnership Grant to align educational institutions and businesses in key sectors. His policies focus on job growth, advanced manufacturing, and innovation-driven expansion.
