by John Nelson

CLAYTON, N.C. — Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceutical giant, has broken ground on a 1.4 million-square-foot manufacturing facility in the Raleigh suburb of Clayton. The drugmaker plans to invest $4.1 billion in the development in order to boost the production of diabetes treatment Ozempic, weight loss drug Wegovy and other injectable therapies. Operations at the 56-acre site will include filling and packaging syringes and injection pens. According to CNBC, the demand for Wegovy and Ozempic has outstripped supply in the United States over the past year. The disparity has led to “intermittent shortages,” reports the national news outlet. In 2024 alone, Novo Nordisk is investing $6.8 billion into pharmaceutical production, up from approximately $4 billion last year. “It took us a century to reach 40 million patients, but through this expansion and continued investment in our global production, we’re building Novo Nordisk’s ability to serve millions more people living with serious chronic diseases in the future,” says Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen, president and CEO of Novo Nordisk. “This is yet another real signal of our efforts to scale up our production to meet the growing global need for our life-changing medicines and the patients of tomorrow.” The expansion project will double …
