The pharmaceutical giant today broke ground on a new $5bn production site located west of Richmond, in Goochland County, Virginia. Jean-Yves Courtial Published on 10/23/2026 at 02:25 am EDT The facility is part of an investment plan of more than $50bn aimed at increasing the group's drug manufacturing capacity in the United States.
