Roche has begun construction on a state-of-the-art diagnostics production center in Penzberg, Germany, with an investment exceeding 600 million euros. In the future, more than 450 essential raw materials for diagnostic tests for the care of patients will be produced here in a highly automated and intelligent manufacturing process.
With the new building, Roche is increasing the long-term security of supply for in-vitro diagnostics and raw materials worldwide.
“Today, we lay the foundation for one of the most modern diagnostics production centers in Europe, aimed at enhancing our supply capacity to meet the needs of our global customers. With this significant investment, we will produce around 450 different ingredients for diagnostic tests starting in 2028. Our new production center in Penzberg will be a symbol of high technology and sustainability”, said Thomas Schinecker, CEO of the Roche Group.
