Encouraged by a North Carolina state grant, Fresenius Kabi will expand its prefilled syringes business acquired from Becton, Dickinson and Company in 2016.
Fresenius Kabi has said it will increase manufacturing capacity and create jobs at a site in Illinois in a move that will earn the German firm US tax breaks.
Both Fresenius Kabi and Abbott have extended their operations further in the Latin American market with new acquisitions that signal growth in the region.
