The City of Temecula is pleased to welcome the business expansion of one of its prized life science companies, EMD Millipore. EMD Millipore has finalized plans to lease close to 38,000 square feet of additional building space in Temecula’s Business Park. In total, the organization will have nearly 150,000 square feet, spread across three buildings, dedicated to the development, manufacturing and distribution of biologics & chemicals.
“Temecula is a strategic site for EMD Millipore and continues to be a center of excellence for biologic reagent manufacturing,” said Chris Ross, Head of Operations for EMD Millipore. “Bringing together the production power and intellectual capabilities of our San Diego facility as we consolidate operations into our Temecula campus will help to foster innovation and growth in our Bioscience business, and create new career development opportunities for employees. This investment reaffirms the company’s long term commitment to maintaining and enhancing our presence in Southern California.”
This expansion, led locally by Fabien Marino, the Operations Site Head for Temecula and San Diego, will bring over 100 jobs to the city, bringing the total number of employees at EMD Millipore’s Temecula site to more than 350. City of Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards says, “EMD Millipore’s decision to grow in Temecula is a huge asset to our community. The expanded footprint and creation of jobs offers tremendous economic value and will serve to further strengthen and synergize our existing bioscience industry cluster.”
