1. Aurobindo Pharma Cuts Ribbon on New 170,000 Square Foot Facility on Windsor Center Drive. Mayor Janice S. Mironov and Council Members, along with Mercer County Executive Dan Benson, joined Aurobindo Chief Executive Officer Swami Iyer and other Aurobindo executives and representatives for a ribbon cutting for the new 170,000 square foot building on the Aurobindo campus -- a state-of-the art pharmaceutical research, manufacturing and distribution facility on Windsor Center Drive. The new Aurobindo facility, constructed over a 10-month period, will predominantly house over the counter and injectable products, complementing the company’s existing distribution center which specializes in solid oral dosage forms. Additional walkways, a patio and seating areas were incorporated, plus enhanced landscaping and berming with deciduous, ornamental and evergreen trees, to integrate the new facility into the existing campus. The new 170,000 square foot building will join the existing 606,620 square foot Aurobindo building constructed in 2016 and the previously acquired 43,000 square foot Patscenter building on the Company’s campus along Princeton Hightstown Road. Aurobindo's expansion grows the Township's high-tech, pharmaceutical research and development Einstein's Alley corridor along Princeton Hightstown Road, also home to other significant businesses as Empower Pharma, Shiseido America, Getinge, RK Pharma, ForDoz Pharma and QTS Data Centers. Aurobindo Pharma Limited, founded in 1988, is one of the world’s leading development and manufacturing pharmaceutical companies with 27 state-of-the art facilities and more than 24,000 employees worldwide; East Windsor serves as the company's North American headquarters.
