The hardworking team at the Argos Smithfield Ready-Mix plant in North Carolina performed well during an early morning pour with Dutchland inc. at the Grifols Pharmaceutical Plant in Clayton, NC.
In North Carolina, Grifols footprint has grown in recent years. Grifols opened a $400 million plasma-fractionation plant in Clayton in 2014. It also has a bioscience division headquarters facility in Research Triangle Park that employs more than 400 people.
Back in 2020, Grifols announced their plans to expand again, investing $351.6 million to build a specialized blood plasma facility in Clayton, NC.
