Pfizer to invest $650 million in new Manufacturing Technology Center at Groton campus

Pfizer announced a $650 million capital program to build a 220,000‑square‑foot Manufacturing Technology Center at its Groton, Connecticut R&D campus. Construction is slated to start in the second quarter of 2027, with the facility expected to become operational in mid‑2031. The center will produce clinical‑grade active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug products for Pfizer‑sponsored trials and will bring together employees currently spread across the campus into a single, modern building.

The company says the investment will strengthen its ability to support global clinical trials and modernize its manufacturing footprint, which could enhance future product pipelines (). The sizable capex may affect Pfizer’s cash flow and balance sheet over the next five years, a factor investors will monitor.
