Congratulations to our partners in Lawrence, Kansas on today’s announcement that PLASTIKON will locate a new production facility creating 126 new jobs.

Subject to a due diligence period and incentive approval process, Plastikon will purchase a 40,000-sq.-ft. biopharmaceutical production facility formerly occupied by Serologicals, Inc., in Lawrence’s East Hills Business Park.  Plastikon will produce a sterile fluid product for the medical and healthcare industry, investing more than $7 million in the project.
