Home » Lupin Plans $250 Million Manufacturing Facility in Coral Springs, Florida to Expand U.S. Respiratory Drug Production

Lupin Ltd. plans to invest $250 million over five years to build a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Coral Springs, Florida, as part of its strategy to expand U.S.-based production of respiratory medicines.

The Mumbai-based company said the planned 70,000-square-foot facility, located on more than five acres, will be capable of producing over 25 respiratory treatments, including albuterol inhalers for asthma patients and military personnel. The investment covers research and development, infrastructure, and capital expenditures.

Lupin said the project will help diversify supply chains, strengthen domestic manufacturing, and enhance the nation’s medicine security. The company expects to create more than 200 skilled jobs in Broward County by 2030.

“The new facility will build on Lupin’s existing presence in Florida, home to our headquarters and Advanced Inhalation Research Center,” said Christoph Funke, the company’s Chief Technical Operations Officer. “This investment underscores our commitment to innovation, quality and reliable supply, and reflects our collaboration with Florida’s leaders to strengthen U.S. medicine security.”

Florida’s Secretary of Commerce J. Alex Kelly welcomed the move, saying Lupin’s expansion reinforces the state’s growing role in life sciences and advanced manufacturing. “With strong research capacity, education programs and a leading talent pipeline, Florida has become a top destination for pharmaceutical investment,” Kelly said.

Partners, tax credits and incentives

Lupin has acquired the site for the project and will receive tax credits and incentives in recognition of its investment and job creation plans. The company is partnering with FloridaCommerce/Select Florida, the City of Coral Springs, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, and the Broward County Commission, along with an unnamed workforce and college partner.

Once complete, the Coral Springs plant will anchor Lupin’s U.S. respiratory operations and serve as a key production site for critical inhalation therapies.

The plan follows similar large-scale manufacturing investments by AbbVie and Eli Lilly, as global drugmakers increase U.S. production capacity.

The company expects to create more than 200 skilled jobs in Broward County by 2030.
