The rush to find new drugs to fight cancer is spurring big growth for a Madison company.
SAFC Pharma is moving equipment and staff into a new building in the Verona Technology Park. It will be the company's second building in the Madison area and is expected to begin manufacturing in April.
The Verona site, at 1101 Kettle Moraine Trail, is 51,000 square feet - almost as big as the company's existing 63,000 square foot building in University Research Park at 645 Science Drive in Madison. That building was constructed in 2000 and expanded in 2005.
But it's the size of the equipment that's more important. The new building is being outfitted with glass-lined steel reactor tanks that are a lot bigger, said Dave Bormett, Director of Operations.
