Bristol-Myers Squibb will spend $164 million to expand its site in Humacao, P.R. To be completed by early 2016, the project is expected to add 82,000 sq ft of manufacturing space for type 2 diabetes drugs and 83,150 sq ft for cardiovascular medicines. In addition, the firm says it will debut a new “active coating” process that introduces active ingredients into the coating of a tablet.
