In July 2016 Alexion Pharmaceuticals announced its plans to invest an additional €100 million (approximately $110.6 million) in the expansion of its Athlone, Ireland facility. The investment will include the addition of a new biologics manufacturing facility and create 50 additional jobs in Athlone, the company said in a press release.
