CSL-Behring broke ground on a $1.5 billion expansion of its Kankakee, Illinois manufacturing facility

The expanded facility is expected to increase production capacity for plasma-derived therapies including Privigen and Hizentra immunoglobulin treatments

The Illinois expansion project is projected to create at least 300 new pharmaceutical jobs and approximately 800 construction and related jobs

The Kankakee expansion facility is expected to become operational by 2031

Illinois state officials offered more than $200 million in tax incentives to secure the project

CSL has invested more than $3 billion in its U.S. operations prior to this expansion
