WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Fagron Sterile Services, which manufactures sterile products for medical use, is planning an expansion in Wichita.

The Netherlands-based company, which acquired Wichita’s JCB Laboratories in January, says the expansion could bring 100 new jobs to Wichita in the next three years at its new 49,000-square-foot plant.

JCB president Brian Williamson will provide the same products that JCB does but the new plant will have cutting-edge, automated technology. He says JCB and Fagron needed to have two plants in case a disaster damages one of the facilities. He expects to have an occupancy certificate for the new plant by July 1.

The Wichita Eagle reports the new space will have a maximum capacity of about 100 employees, who will be hired in the next three years.
