This new 165,000-square-foot facility will be located in the fourth phase of development at the Westmoreland Business & Research Park and can be expanded to 225,000-square-feet in the future. The 545-acre industrial park is currently home to 18 companies employing more than 2,200 workers. Respironic's initial associate level at this facility will be 575 with anticipated growth of 20% in five years.
"With today's global economy and the competitive nature of manufacturing, we recognize the need to have developed industrial sites immediately available for expanding businesses," said Westmoreland County Commissioner Chairman Tom Balya. "We are very excited to assist Respironics with its growth and facility expansion in Westmoreland County."
In 2007, Respironics marked the arrival of a new state-of-the-art facility in the United Kingdom for its European operations and Respiratory Drug Delivery (RDD) business and established a Center for Excellence in Aerosol Research.
At its U.S. headquarters, Respironics expanded the footprint of its main campus with three nearby properties. It relocated its Sleep and Home Respiratory group to its new headquarters on Rt. 286 in Monroeville and is putting the finishing touches on a 30,000-square-foot call center in Plum Borough. It also is developing new office space in Monroeville for its Children's Medical Ventures business, which provides developmentally supportive products and services for premature babies, healthy newborns and older hospitalized infants.
