GSK has 2 manufacturing sites, Rockville, MD and King of Prussia, PA that make drug substances for innovative biopharmaceutical medicines for clinical and commercial use. The sites’ employees support new product introductions (NPI) and global supply by manufacturing GSK products – including Benlysta for systemic lupus erythematosus and Nucala for severe eosinophilic asthma. The Rockville site also manufactures drug substance for third party customers and is licensed to supply medicines to more than 70 countries. The King of Prussia site, known locally as Upper Merion, is home to our clinical pilot plants which manufacture drug substance and drug product for clinical supply,as well as the NPI launch facility aligned to the GSK process platform. It also houses the biopharmaceuticals analytical hub, responsible for global release and stability testing of products. Both sites are highly regulated, having hosted several dozen successful inspections by regulatory authorities around the world.

The sites’ vision is to be wholly entrusted to make innovative, high quality medicines by leveraging the best talent and technology, on a platform of continuous improvement, to efficiently supply every patient, every time. GSKBiopharm_Manufacturing.
