SCA Pharma to Expand Production Facility in Little Rock
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (July 21, 2020) – SCA Pharma, an FDA‐registered outsourcing facility, today announced that it will expand its operations in Little Rock. SCA will be investing more than $10 million and will create the opportunity to double its current Little Rock workforce of 180 people. Additionally, the investment will allow SCA Pharma to renovate an existing 42,000‐square‐foot facility at the Little Rock Municipal Airport Business Park and construct an additional 20,000‐square‐foot facility adjacent to the existing facility. SCA announced last week that there is also a planned forty percent expansion of its Windsor, CT facility.
“We are very pleased that as we continue our geographical expansions, in both Arkansas and Connecticut, we can partner with AECD to solidify and expand the operations of our legacy operations,” said Milton Boyer CEO of SCA Pharma. Little Rock has been the foundation that has allowed for our other expansion projects and this project will bolster that foundation for years to come.”
SCA, founded in Little Rock in 2010, has experienced tremendous growth during the past five years and has emerged as a leading manufacturer of compounded pharmaceuticals. The company continually seeks new opportunities to meet customer and patient needs and creating additional clean room capacity would provide another avenue to increase supply. The expansion in both locations will also create the need for technical and highly skilled jobs for both areas.
“Arkansas is committed to nurturing its homegrown companies from seed stage upward,” said Governor Hutchinson OR Secretary Mike Preston. “We are proud to see the success that SCA Pharma is experiencing and look forward to the products and services being developed here in central Arkansas that will positively impact the lives of people around the country.”
