(KAIR)--A new manufacturing facility is set to open in Doniphan County.
That announcement comes in a press release issued by Doniphan County Economic Development, which states that Kindred Biosciences, Inc. has acquired a manufacturing facility in Elwood.
The release describes the firm as “a biopharmaceutical company focused on saving and improving the lives of pets.”
The property purchased by the company was previously owned by Boehringer Ingelheim and by Strategic Veterinary Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
It includes approximately 8 acres of land and two buildings encompassing approximately 180,000 square feet.
The total purchase price was $3,750,000 and the company expects to close within 30-days.
Co-Founder and COO of KindredBio, Denise Beyers, says that while the company already employs top talent in the Kansas City area, the acquisition will allow the company “to recruit additional talent to support the manufacture of drugs and biologics for companion animals.”
Organizations that assisted in attracting KindredBio to the region were the KC Area Development Council, the State of Kansas, the Kansas Department of Commerce, Westar Energy, KC Animal Health Corridor, and the Doniphan County Economic Development Commission.
