At Novo Nordisk, we want to make a difference. For more than 100 years, we have led the way in diabetes care. Being part of Novo Nordisk allows our employees to embark on life-changing careers, and the opportunity to help improve the quality of life for millions of people around the world. Our first US manufacturing facility for diabetes and obesity medicines was established in Clayton, NC in 1993. In North Carolina we operate three pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities that are responsible for fulfilling different steps in our injectable and oral treatment supply chains.
Our legacy Injectable Finished Products (IFP) facility in Clayton, NC is a 457,000 square foot aseptic “fill and finish” site that is responsible for producing innovative, injectable diabetes and obesity treatments. Our newer Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) facility in Clayton, NC sits on 825,000 square-feet of state-of-the-art equipment, and houses the Fermentation, Recovery and Purification in the production of ingredients for Novo Nordisk’s innovative oral products. Our Emerging Technologies – Oral Finished Products (ET-OFP) facility in Durham, NC is a 194,000 square foot tableting and packaging facility that supports the production of our innovative oral treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes. At our sites in North Carolina, you’ll join a global network of manufacturing professionals who are passionate about what they do.
We work together even when we're not in the same room, across oceans and borders and communication lines. And brilliant things happen when we connect. From new technologies to the can-do spirit we’ve always had, we’re revolutionizing the way we carry out production, helping more patients live better lives, and ensuring we work sustainably to protect the planet we call home.
Unique to Novo Nordisk’s North American affiliate locations, the Novo Nordisk Apprenticeship program is in conjunction with the NC Apprenticeship Consortium. Students will gain paid on-the-job training while putting their academic knowledge to practical use.
