Millipore expands in Missouri

Life science supplier Millipore is giving a $3.4 million boost to its St. Charles, Missouri facility, which is the headquarters for its drug discovery business unit. The company will add 60 more people to the current 187 headcount. "The...expansion will enable Millipore to keep pace with the growth of its worldwide drug discovery and development business, which provides products and services that help pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies discover, evaluate and develop drug candidates," the company said in a statement. Back in September Millipore announced plans to give itself a $1.6B makeover as life sciences supplier.
