Just another great reason to call Lee County, AL home. Governor Robert Bentley announced today that SiO2 Medical Products will be building a new facility in Auburn to the tune of a $90 million investment. Construction has already begun in the Auburn Technology Park West.
SiO2 Medical Products is a supplier for innovative products in the biological drug industry. The company is expected to grow their roots in the area as well with future expansions.
The Retirement Systems of Alabama was integral, along with Auburn’s Economic Development Office, Speaker Mike Hubbard and Governor Bentley, in making this announcement possible.
“The RSA has worked on this project for two years, and the financing closed last week,” Dr. Bronner (of RSA) said. “We are very excited about the opportunity to partner with SiO2 Medical Products’ Chairman Bobby Abrams, Auburn Mayor Bill Ham, Auburn Economic Development Director Phillip Dunlap, Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard, and Governor Robert Bentley to expand the plant in Auburn.”
Globally recognized in their industry, SiO2 Medical Products hold 37 patents for processes and products.
