USP’s new facility expands its presence from 14,000 square feet to over 100,000 square feet; the number of employees will go from 70 to 90 in the coming year.

USP CEO Roger Williams said they are now poised to do more collaborative testing, verification testing, pharmacopeial education, customer support, and sourcing of written and physical standards for drugs, much of which we have been doing in concert with Indian manufacturers.

"In addition, we are now able to launch new initiatives in synthetic chemistry and, reflecting the increasingly important role worldwide of biologics and biotechnology, in bio-analytic chemistry and testing," Williams said.
