Canada Pledges $60M to Boucherville Biomanufacturing
The Government of Canada is committed to strengthening Canada’s domestic biomanufacturing ecosystem, boosting the economy while creating and maintaining well-paying jobs and better positioning us to respond to future health needs.
Today, Sherry Romanado, Member of Parliament for Longueuil-Charles-LeMoyne and Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister of Emergency Preparedness, on behalf of the Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, announced a $60 million contribution through the Strategic Innovation Fund to Delpharm Boucherville Canada Inc. This investment will support Delpharm’s $220 million project to modernize and expand its facility in Boucherville, Quebec, increasing its capacity to manufacture sterile injectables, many of which are essential medicines used on a daily basis by Canadians and in our hospitals. This investment will also enable Delpharm to maintain 450 jobs and hire students for 150 co-op terms.
Through this project, Delpharm will add 28,000 square feet to its Boucherville facility and install new state-of-the-art equipment. This will double production capacity to approximately 130 million units per year. This expansion will significantly enhance Canada’s ability to produce essential sterile injectables for domestic use and the export market.
