A manufacturer of biologic pharmaceuticals purchased a Berkeley company and is adding 160 new jobs.
Gallus Biopharmaceuticals purchased the former 15-acre, 200,000-square-foot Centocor Biologics facility in Berkeley.
Gallus plans to make an initial capital investment of $20 million to expand the facility; hire about 160 Centocor employees; and create an approximately 160 additional, new jobs over the next five years.
The average salary of those jobs will be approximately $88,500.
To help Gallus move ahead with these plans, the state of Missouri authorized an economic incentive package worth approximately $14.6 million for the company, which can be redeemed by the company over the next 10 years provided it meets the requirements of each incentive program.
