The Tampa headquarters is designed to foster collaboration and innovation, supporting services across pharmaceutical, biotech, and consumer health sectors. The site is located on the 41st floor of the Bank of America Plaza3.

The relocation aligns with Catalent’s strategic goals under new ownership by Novo Holdings, which completed a $16.5 billion acquisition in December 2024 and plans to double the company’s size over five years1 5.

Fujifilm Biotechnologies is constructing a $3.2 billion cell culture manufacturing facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina, expected to be operational in 2025 and designed to be the largest such CDMO facility in North America6.
