Phillips-Medisize is expanding in Wisconsin

Phillips-Medisize, a Molex company, has broken ground on a new manufacturing facility in Hudson, Wis., on the eastern end of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area.

The 34-acre location at the St. Croix Meadows development will support at least 230,000 square feet of manufacturing space for FDA-regulated medical device products, Phillips-Medisize announced yesterday. After construction is complete in mid-2020, the plant will employ more than 250 employees in fields ranging from advanced manufacturing to engineering.

The new facility will be the largest facility in Wisconsin for Phillips-Medisize, which started in the town of Phillips more than 50 years ago.

Phillips-Medisize is one of the largest medtech contract manufacturers in the world and a major player in the drug delivery device space. The company employs more than 5,500 people at 26 manufacturing sites worldwide.
