IMA Life NA has twice expanded its production and office space at their existing facility and has now utilized all the land available. With no further expansion possible at the existing location, IMA Life NA is planning to build a new 80,000 sq ft facility that will include 50,000 sq ft of production space and 30,000 sq ft of office space, as well as exterior parking, truck court, and dumpster areas. This new facility will include a development laboratory, three production bays and warehouse space for the development, sale, assembly, testing, and shipping of Freeze Dryers for the pharmaceutical sector. It will also include corporate office space and be positioned to serve as the North America headquarters for IMA Group. Upon completion of the Project, 120 existing FTE will move to the new building, leaving 34 FTE at the existing site. IMA plans to hire an additional 30 FTE, bringing the total FTE at the new facility to 150 within two years of its completion.
