Ceva Biomune expands poultry vaccine operation
Ceva Biomune, a subsidiary of Ceva Sante Animale, is expanding its poultry vaccine production operation in Lenexa and intends to hire 80 more employees next year.
The French firm plans to build a 20,000-square-foot facility on its current campus which employs 150 people currently.
Lenexa was chosen over sites in Europe and Brazil for the expansion.
The new facility is expected to open in mid-2010. It will join a complex that was opened in 1988 by Biomune Labs. Ceva Sante Animal purchased the operation in 2005.
