Pharmaceutical Company Planning Birmingham Facility

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has announced a pharmaceutical company will build a manufacturing facility in Birmingham.

Bentley said Tuesday that Oxford Pharmaceuticals LLC is expected to open in 2016. The company manufactures generic drugs.

Bentley says the company will employ 200 people when it is fully operational.

The governor made the announcement at the Birmingham Business Alliance’s annual governor’s luncheon.

The group says that state and local governments have tentatively awarded $5 million in incentives for the project.
