Rowan University, in conjunction with Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno and Senate President Steve Sweeney, announced that the Spanish multinational veterinary pharmaceutical company HIPRA will establish its North American headquarters at the South Jersey Technology Park at Rowan University in Mantua Township.
The firm will purchase 25 acres of the Tech Park’s 180 acres on Rowan’s West Campus, located about a mile from its main campus in Glassboro.
HIPRA, which develops vaccines for animal health, will build 375,000 square feet of space fronting Route 55 at the Route 322 interchange for office, research and development, manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facilities. HIPRA plans to develop the land in several phases, with a long-term investment that could reach $100 million and create 200 new high-technology jobs.
