Governor announces $20M investment for B Braun expansion
Stacy Wescoe//September 18, 2025//
Listen to this articleGovernor Josh Shapiro was in the Lehigh Valley Thursday to announce that the state is investing $20 million to help B. Braun expand its operations.
Shapiro joined B. Braun leaders and local officials to announce that the company — a global leader in infusion therapy and pain management — will invest $20 million to expand and modernize its medical device manufacturing facility in the Lehigh Valley.
The project is expected to create at least 200 new, full-time jobs over the next three years and retain 1,704 existing full-time positions.
Pennsylvania is supporting the project with $1.5 million in state funding.
“Pennsylvania is a national leader in the biotech and life sciences industry thanks to our key location, research infrastructure, and skilled workforce,” said Shapiro. “Having operated in the Lehigh Valley for more than 45 years, B. Braun recognizes the many advantages of doing their critical work here in Pennsylvania ― which is why they’re once again reinvesting in our Commonwealth.”
According to a release, B. Braun is expanding and modernizing production equipment at its 710,000-square-foot medical device manufacturing facility at 901 Marcon Boulevard in Hanover Township.
The upgrades will enhance IV therapy, pharmacy admixture, and compounding operations products.
The company currently manufactures more than 2,400 medical devices and related products in Lehigh County and has its U.S. headquarters in Bethlehem.
To support the project, B. Braun received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) that includes a $1 million Pennsylvania First grant and a $500,000 WEDnetPA grant to train its workers.
“This expansion is wonderful news and will only contribute to the continued success of Lehigh County and the Lehigh Valley as a whole,” said State Rep Jeanne McNeill, D-Lehigh. “The Lehigh Valley is one of the fastest growing regions in Pennsylvania for young workers and B. Braun’s footprint encourages more workers who live here to stay here and contribute and will make this area more competitive with surrounding states.”
