Pharmaceutical Start-Up Moves To Bigger Space in East Windsor

East Windsor Township, NJ -- Novitium Pharmaceuticals has a new home in a much bigger space.

The company has relocated to 70 Lake Drive just off New Jersey Turnpike East Windsor Interchange 8, East Windsor officials said on Friday.

It moves from a small facility employing 20 people in South Plainfield into a 45,000 square foot facility. The company now employs 46 workers with plans to grow to 100 workers in 2017 and to add another 100 workers in 2018.

Longtime industrial professionals started this company with an eye toward developing and manufacturing generic forms of drugs in dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, oral/topical liquids and creams. Novitium will also market directly to major retailers such as CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid.

Extensive renovations to the new facility are ongoing, and include a fit-out of 2,000 square feet for additional office and lab space, followed by a fit-out of 35,000 square feet of space, currently configured as a warehouse, for the manufacture and packaging of pharmaceuticals.
